Michel Bouzereau Bourgogne Pinot Noir

2022

Burghound 86: A markedly ripe yet fresh nose speaks of poached plum, cassis and warm earth. The caressing and delicious middleweight flavors possess both good volume and an appealing mid-palate succulence, all wrapped in a rustic, mildly warm and generous finish.

Decanter: There are delightful aromas of lemon peel and green apple on the initial attack of his entry-level Bourgogne. The texture is fresh and lively but not lacking in weight. Although it is a 'simple' Bourgogne Chardonnay, it conveys the origin of most of the fruit: 60% from the Meursault lieux-dits Sous La Velle, Les Magny and Les Belles Côtes and the balance from Champ Perrier in Puligny. The wine is gently pressed before fermenting and ageing in cask (15% new) for one year.
