The 2016 vintage in Burgundy, particularly for white wines like Meursault, was marked by severe spring frosts that led to significantly smaller crops, sometimes as low as half or even a quarter of the normal yield in Meursault. Despite the low yields, the cool, dry, and sunny weather during ripening in September allowed for excellent white wines to be produced, with many showing concentration and tension. The Michel Bouzereau et Fils estate is highly regarded as one of Meursault's top producers, known for their vineyard-first philosophy, organic farming practices, and minimal intervention in the cellar. Their wines are classic expressions of Meursault, defined by balance, energy, and complexity, allowing the terroir to speak clearly. 【One of Meursault's top producers】. The 2016 Michel Bouzereau Meursault Perrieres 1er Cru is expected to be an amazing wine, with ripe, full-fruited aromas and flavors including brioche and hazelnut. It typically presents a medium body and supple texture that carries into a persistent finish. Tasting notes for Meursault Perrières often include honey, minerals, stone, butter, vanilla, oak, almond, toast, hazelnut, citrus, lemon, lime, cream, and peach. 🍴 This Meursault pairs beautifully with subtle and fine-textured fish or meat, such as grilled lobster, crawfish, king prawns in garlic butter sauce, poultry, or veal with white sauce. It also complements dishes with aromatic and crisp textures, and soft to semi-hard cheeses like Brie or Gruyère. 🥂 This wine is an essential prerequisite for any Burgundy collection or wine list. It's perfect for a sophisticated dinner party, a special celebration, or as a thoughtful gift for a connoisseur of fine white Burgundy.
