• White Bourgogne 

The vineyards of Meursault, in the heart of the Côte de Beaune, lay on an exceptional terroir between calcareous and marl soils. Perrières terroir is very stony, hence the name of this Premier Cru. White Meursault has a pale gold color with greenish tones. Meursault "Perrières" from Bouzereau estate is defined by intense minerality, and delivers a long-finish, well-balanced.
