Bouchard Pere et Fils Meursault 2022
Very aromatic nose, with fruit and floral notes. Just as perfumed on the palate, this wine expresses its richness and fullness without the slightest heaviness. Good ageing potential.
Critical Acclaim
96 James Suckling
Beautiful nose of white flowers and lemon jelly. The creamy-dreamy front of the medium- to full-bodied palate doesn't let you move on, but when you do the interplay of chalky minerality with richness is stunning. And right at the end the wine's stony side and an exciting touch of grapefruit bitterness show themselves beautifully. From two blocks that are 2.6 hectares in total. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

Bouchard is replanting a big block in this site, so the 2022 Meursault 1er Cru Genevrières is a smaller cuvée than usual. Unfurling in the glass with notes of pear, white flowers, fresh hazelnuts and ripe citrus, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and vibrant, with a fleshy core of fruit that exhibits good concentration and cut. The 2022 vintage is another tour de force for Bouchard, as the accompanying tasting notes reflect. Technical director Frédéric Weber reported little in the way of hydric stress, with rapid ripening at the end of the season that saw some parcels accumulate 1.5% potential alcohol in as little as three days. Fortunately, the team hadn't performed any deleafing and were able to apply protective kaolin clay as sunblock for the leaves and fruit to ride out the heat wave. Harvest began on August 26, with anything picked after 11 a.m. left overnight in a cold room for processing the following day, and the harvesters stopping work at 2 p.m.

The 2022 Meursault Les Genevrières 1er Cru is slightly more closed on the nose than the Les Goutte d'Or, revealing white peach and almond scents with time and a touch of grilled hazelnut. The palate is well-balanced with crisp acidity, taut and fresh, the saline finish lending tension. It needs time in bottle, but all the components are there.
