Neal Martin, January 2024, Score: 93-95
The 2022 Meursault Clos des Boucheres 1er Cru, which has been produced since 2011, has a fresh and quite marine-influenced bouquet that gains intensity with aeration: sea spray, cockle sheds and touches of peach skin lend a soupcon of exoticism. The palate is very well-balanced with a silver bead of acidity. There s just the right amount of spiciness here; it s quite linear towards the finish, but this reeks of sophistication. Anticipated maturity: 2026-2053
Region
Meursault
Meursault is the first great white wine area that one stumbles upon on leaving Beaune. Unlike other white dominated appellations in Burgundy, Meursault has no grand cru vineyards. It nonetheless has significant flair and power which make up for this deficiency. Indeed, if tasted blind some of these wines could even surpass other Burgundian grand crus. They are no fainting daisies. This may partially be due to Meursault's lower water table which enables the roots to delve deep in the soil picking up many trace minerals and which further stresses the vines. In addition, the cellars are more profound and cooler, enabling long fermentations, which increase complexity and longevity. Some interesting red wines are also made.
