Tasting notes
Following a tasting through his 2012s and an interesting discussion about premature oxidation issues, Jean-Marc kindly offered to open three older bottles that he served blind. The 2007 Meursault Bouchere has a clean, slightly resinous bouquet with hints of dried white flowers, damp straw and dried peach - perhaps a little more forward than I was expecting. The palate is fresh with a popcorn-tinged entry. The palate has a saline entry and fine acidity. It is not complex but it offers a lovely hint of dried honey on the finish with touches of white pepper on the aftertaste. Very fine.

Subtly complex aromas of peach, apricot, smoke and hazelnut. Then quite firm and oaky in the mouth, with a youthful hard edge to the lemon and spice flavors. The most rigid of these 2007s to this point; perhaps a bit dried by the wood treatment (one of the three barrels was new). Roulot notes that he prefers the 2004 vintage of this cuvee
Rather exotic aromas of soft citrus fruits, hazelnut and nut oil. Fat, sweet and a bit chunky; less precise than most of the foregoing lieux-dits Shows a candied quality in the middle palate and finishes with a slightly hard-edged, metallic character. These vines can produce flaccid wine if harvested too late, but was this picked too early?
