Notes from Becky Wasserman:

"Originally from the Loire, Jérôme does not come from a winemaking family. He worked for eight years in the food industry. Then, after harvesting for a couple of years at Domaine Alain Burguet in Gevrey-Chambertin as of 1996, became inspired and motivated to embark on his own estate project, and so enrolled at the wine institute in Beaune. In 2002, he bought his first vineyard plot (a miniscule 0.05 hectares!) and carried out his own vinification that September. Since then, Jérôme expanded the holdings to five hectares of vines and harvests every year with a group of well-trained friends." From 60+ year old vines growing on teh top of a moderate slope. Soil is shallow Oxfordian marl.

Wine Advocate:

"Aromas of lime zest, pear, mint and white flowers introduce the 2022 Bouzeron, a medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive wine with a sweet core of fruit underpinned by tangy acids."
