The vineyard is
managed using sustainable practices, only organic fertilisers and composts are used
and chemical herbicides have not been used for over 15 years.
The Bouzereau family has been growing vines in Meursault for nine generations, dating back to the 18th century. The current Château de Cîteaux was established by Philippe Bouzereau (senior) in the 1960s. His son Philippe (junior) took over the running of the estate in 2006, having completed his studies in Beaune and worked vintages in Beaujolais, Australia and New Zealand. The 18 hectares of vines are cultivated according to the principles of la ‘Lutte Raisonnée’, or sustainable farming. Philippe passionately believes in letting the wine express its terroir, through minimum intervention in the winery and a judicious use of oak. He has certainly achieved this, as the resulting wines are rich, concentrated and showcase the terroir beautifully.
The rich and polished 1er Cru Puligny-Montrachet, with wonderful purity and combined notes of citrus fruit, hints of gunflint, hazelnut and delicate spice. Classically styled, with beautiful balance and a long and mineral finish.
