Domaine Roulot Meursault 1er Cru Clos des Boucheres 2020

96 Points - Decanter

As with neighbouring Gouttes d'Or, the Clos de Bouchères - a 1.37ha monopole acquired in 2011 - is a precocious, early-ripening site, picked earlier in 2020 than its neighbours, with more potential alcohol (13.65%) and less acidity. Despite the richness, there is a lively character here that makes the wine perhaps more dynamic than its neighbour, even if it doesn't quite reach the depth of Perrières. Roulot vinifies with moderate use of new wood - and his habitual winemaking savvy - to yield an unforgettable wine of charm and distinction

96 Points - Jasper Morris

Picked on 21st August, 13.65% alcohol, 4.00TA and 3.28pH. Pale lemon yellow, the nose is interestingly complex, less reductive, with more soft fruit, a lovely lemon and grapefruit zest to it. Otherwise there is more classic white fruit, great energy and length. Really attractive, complex balanced wine with great length

96 Points - Vinous

The 2020 Meursault Clos des Bouchères 1er Cru is positively stunning. The aromatics along are so inviting. Gracious and deceptively light in body, the 2020 has so much to offer. White pepper, crushed rocks, grapefruit, mint and salt lend brightness to this mesmerizing, high-toned Meursault. The Bouchères is one of the highlights in this range from Jean-Marc Roulot. (AG
