The superb Bouchard Perrières is initially somewhat closed but opens up on the palate with the aroma of mirabelle plum and quince touched with butter and spice. The texture is compact and tightly wound, with impressive tension for the vintage. The grapes are from 0.34ha divided between two organically farmed parcels. This wine will benefit from five to seven years in the cellar before opening and will continue to improve for 30 years.(CC)

Once again, the complete wine, much more density even than the Charmes, with some of the detail of Genevrières. Grand Vin, from the first sniff and sip through to a majestic finish, pure white fruit, pears and ripe apples, ideal acidity. Drink from 2030-2038. Tasted Oct 2024.

This has mid-palate muscle and serious structure. This would be a good choice for a Meursault Premier Cru hidden in a blind tasting. Full in body with hyper-intense, richly ripe fruits, this starts with toasted hazelnuts, honey-drizzled brioche, dried nectarine and quince paste. Sassy acidity zooms in to offer support, refreshment and crunchy zing on the finish. The domaine owns 80 ares.
