The Les Tessons vineyard lies among a cluster of lieu dit vineyards just west of the village. Burgundy authority, Clive Coates MW named Domaine Michel Bouzereau as one of the “best cellars for (these) Deuxièmes Crus.” Coates went on to call the domaine the “best of the Bouzereau cellars [with] fine, racy, stylish wines which can be held longer than most.” Bouzereau began picking a little early, in late August, preserving the zippy acidity levels a ripe vintage. Burghound’s Allen Meadows writes that the domaine’s clearly outperformed the general quality of the vintages. The wine is showing lovely aromas of citrus, peach, apple, and a hint of smoke.
