The 2023 Philippe Bouzereau Meursault Genevrières is a distinguished white Burgundy from the Premier Cru Genevrières vineyard in Meursault, located in France’s Côte de Beaune. Produced from Chardonnay grown on limestone-rich soils, this wine reflects the finesse, mineral precision and layered texture for which Genevrières is highly regarded. The 2023 vintage combines ripe fruit concentration with vibrant natural acidity, while Philippe Bouzereau’s restrained winemaking approach preserves clarity and vineyard expression. The nose is refined and complex, revealing aromas of lemon curd, white peach and ripe pear alongside delicate notes of toasted hazelnut, brioche and chalky minerality.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with vibrant acidity and a silky, concentrated texture that provides both richness and tension. Flavours of citrus, stone fruit and baked apple are layered with subtle oak spice, gentle creaminess and savoury pastry complexity developed through careful maturation and lees ageing. The Genevrières vineyard contributes notable elegance and linearity, balancing Meursault’s characteristic texture with freshness and precision. The finish is long, dry and mineral-driven with lingering citrus, almond and lightly toasted nuances that continue to unfold in the glass.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding white Burgundy for customers seeking a more refined and cellar-worthy expression of Meursault with Premier Cru pedigree. The 2023 vintage is already showing excellent balance and detail while retaining the structure to evolve beautifully over the next 8–12 years. Best served lightly chilled with lobster, roast poultry, scallops, truffle-based dishes or aged soft-rind cheeses.
