Located at the top of the band of premiers crus Clos des Bouchères is often misunderstood and underappreciated. According to Paul Delorme it is dominated by limestone and is most similar to Perrières. The 2022 vintage has delivered a spectacular result with aromas of ripe pear and hawthorn flowers a little coconut water and a powerful yet elegant saline concentration. The lees are stirred but the reduction is very slight and not overdone. (Drink between 2030-2060)

Pale colour. There is a magical nose here just that little touch of maturity whiffing round the edges a little tendril of honeysuckle. A wonderfully classy bouquet throughout. Brilliantly layered on the palate with thoroughly engaging nuances of white fruit of different ripeness. A lovely fine long finish. This came in at 12.95% alcohol and pH 3.32

The 2022 Meursault Clos des Bouchères 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 soupçon of exoticism.

Roulot's 2022 Meursault 1er Cru Clos des Bouchères delivers aromas of pear peach green apple and orange oil mingled with toasted nuts white flowers and bread dough. Medium to full-bodied supple and satiny it's rich and layered with a gourmand charming profile and a long saline finish. Jean-Marc Roulot seemed happy with his 2022 portfolio a vintage that has the merits of combining high quality with normal quantity narrowly avoiding spring frosts thanks to dry windy weather. The order of the day here is crushing before pneumatic pressing with pressure increasing in small increments to deliver a large juice yield for comparatively little pressure. In the cellar as has been the case for several years Roulot is using less new oak adding ceramic vessels and foudres. Everything I tasted was as usual on the lees in stainless steel where the wines spend six months after their first year in barrel. The other news at this address even if it's outside the purview of this publication is that Roulot is producing a series of eaux de vie de Marc de Bourgogne from his different lieux-dits which makes for a fascinating comparative tasting just as it's fascinating to compare their vinous equivalents side by side.

Moderate reduction is enough at present to push the fruit to the background. On the palate though there is a really lovely sense of verve to the refined elegant and beautifully detailed middle weight flavors that
