Meursault 1er Cru Les Bouchères Bouchard Père Et Fils, 2023

Meursault 1er Cru Les Bouchères from Bouchard Père & Fils is a refined white Burgundy that combines the richness Meursault is known for with the precision of a premier cru site. From one of the commune’s most respected domaines, it offers a classic expression of Chardonnay shaped by both exceptional terroir and long Burgundian tradition.

Tasting Notes
Pale gold in the glass, it typically opens with layered aromas of citrus zest, ripe pear, white peach, hazelnut, and subtle toasted brioche, often carried by a hint of wet stone and delicate floral tones. On the palate, expect a generous yet focused wine with creamy texture, bright freshness, and a mineral backbone that gives length and balance. With time in bottle, it can develop more complex notes of almond, honey, and truffle, making it well suited to graceful ageing.

Production
Les Bouchères is a well-regarded premier cru climat in Meursault, where limestone-rich soils and an excellent hillside exposure help produce Chardonnay with both depth and tension. Grapes are typically harvested by hand to preserve fruit quality, then vinified with careful attention to freshness and texture, often including fermentation and maturation in oak to build structure without overpowering the vineyard’s character.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with dishes such as butter-poached lobster, seared scallops, roast chicken with cream sauce, or rich fish like turbot and sole. Serve it slightly chilled, ideally around 10–12°C, and consider decanting briefly if young to allow its aromas and texture to open fully.

Producer
Bouchard Père & Fils is one of Burgundy’s most historic and respected producers, founded in 1731 and long recognized for its extensive holdings across the Côte d’Or. Based in Beaune, the domaine has played an important role in defining the character of Burgundy wines and is known for consistently producing elegant, terroir-driven expressions from many of the region’s finest sites.
