Tasting notes
The 2020 Meursault Clos des Bouchères 1er Cru has a slightly richer bouquet than its peers, though it is well-defined with subtle oily scents permeating the honeyed fruit. Nuanced, especially following on from the reductive Antoine Jobard. The palate is nicely balanced with a fine bead of acidity, taut and fresh with walnut and smoke developing towards the finish. I appreciate that this has real Meursault DNA and real depth and sapidity. Excellent. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.

The 2020 Meursault 1er Cru Clos des Bouchères is excellent, exhibiting aromas of citrus oil and pear mingled with notes of fresh bread, dried white flowers and iodine. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and enveloping, it's ample but precise, with a satiny attack that segues into a vibrant mid-palate, concluding with a long, saline finish. If Les Charmes is denser and blockier, the Clos des Bouchères is finer-boned and more ethereal.
The 2020 Meursault Clos des Bouchères 1er Cru is positively stunning. The aromatics along are so inviting. Gracious and deceptively light in body, the 2020 has so much to offer. White pepper, crushed rocks, grapefruit, mint and salt lend brightness to this mesmerizing, high-toned Meursault. The Bouchères is one of the highlights in this range from Jean-Marc Roulot.
