While showing some smoky wood, this wine is more about pure fruitiness with yellow fruit flavors given a crisper shot with acidity. Full-bodied and rich, the wine keeps a refreshing brightness. The aftertaste is crisp and fruity. (RV)

*** Outstanding *** This is just as aromatically pure as the Goutte d'Or but with just a bit more elegance to the pear and green apple scents along with the hallmark spiciness of a fine Genevrières. There is really lovely intensity to the delineated, energetic and mineral-inflected flavors that also exude a saline character on the impressively long, balanced and stylish finish. Good stuff here and worth considering.

Bright, pale yellow. Light, precise aromas of lemon, lime and white pepper. Juicy and light on its feet, with intense but understated flavors of citrus peel, flowers and minerals. The wine's very good density is leavened by firm acidity. Finishes brisk and persistent. Not a fat style but has the backbone to reward cellaring. 91+ Points (ST)

Eight to 12 months in barrel, up to 15% new. More creamy than Les Clous and the citrus rings out more clearly with a limey edge. Oak is evident on the palate but not dominant. More depth and length than Les Clous. 17/20 Points

Notes

Always my personal favorite from the Bouchard line-up of Meursaults. Coming from two parcels both in the desirable upper portion of the vineyard, this has a fascinating floral quality about it, with minerality and focus. The main thing I noticed is the terrific sense of tension and life in this wine. Rich, long and complete. Yum. (Keith Wollenberg, K&L Burgundy Buyer, 02/2013)
