The 2023 Philippe Bouzereau Meursault Grands Charrons is a refined white Burgundy from one of Meursault’s well-regarded vineyard sites in France’s Côte de Beaune. Produced from Chardonnay grown on limestone-rich soils, this wine reflects the generosity and texture associated with Meursault while maintaining freshness and mineral precision. The 2023 vintage delivers ripe fruit with excellent natural acidity, and Philippe Bouzereau’s measured winemaking approach allows the vineyard character to remain at the forefront. The nose is layered and expressive, showing aromas of ripe pear, white peach and citrus zest alongside subtle notes of toasted almond, brioche and fine mineral complexity.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with vibrant acidity and a smooth, concentrated texture that gives the wine both depth and structure. Flavours of lemon curd, nectarine and baked apple are supported by restrained oak influence, adding gentle spice, creaminess and savoury detail without overwhelming the fruit. The “Grands Charrons” vineyard contributes notable balance and tension, while careful lees ageing enhances texture and length. The finish is long, dry and mineral-driven with lingering citrus, hazelnut and lightly toasted nuances.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent Meursault for customers who appreciate layered, textural Chardonnay with freshness and classic Burgundy structure. The 2023 vintage is already showing strong balance and purity while retaining the capacity to evolve further over the next 6–10 years. Best served lightly chilled with lobster, roast chicken, scallops, creamy mushroom dishes or aged soft-rind cheeses.
