Tasting notes
The 2012 Meursault Clos des Boucheres has referenced the “clos” on the label since the 2011 vintage. Jean-Marc told me that the clos tends to produce a more elegant wine than “Boucheres” although there is different rootstock, so it probably a combination of those two factors. The 2012 has a slightly more herbaceous bouquet than the Porusot, with touches of nettle and Japanese mirin – introspective, bashful at first but growing in confidence in the glass. The palate is very well balanced with a slight viscosity on the entry, a little more phenolic, with almond, hints of fennel and lemongrass. This is a totally absorbing and cerebral Meursault.

Monopole. First vintage was 2011. ‘Nearly’ organic when sold. Low-key nose with a light floral note. Doesn't seem as striking as Poruzots, for example. Not very communicative when I tasted it in early December. (JR)
