The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine A fresh chapter begins for this historic estate in the heart of Meursault. Acquired in 2018 by the Derichebourg family, Domaine Guy Bocard is undergoing a complete transformation under the guidance of renowned Burgundy winemaker Philippe Pacalet.

Since the 2022 vintage, the wines have been completely revitalized, marking a triumphant return to form for this discreet six-hectare estate, now certified organic and focused exclusively on Village and Premier Cru wines.
Wine The 2023 White Meursault Vieilles Vignes brings together fruit from four parcels across the appellation, offering a beautifully pure and understated floral expression. It’s a refined, precise interpretation of this renowned terroir, with elegant oak, striking balance, and a vibrant freshness that carries through from start to finish. The texture is dense yet mouthwatering, with layered, savory depth. This is a lively, terroir-driven Meursault, showcasing juicy, focused fruit without any excess.
