By Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 95
The 2020 Meursault 1er Cru Clos des Bouchères is excellent, exhibiting aromas of citrus oil and pear mingled with notes of fresh bread, dried white flowers and iodine. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and enveloping, it's ample but precise, with a satiny attack that segues into a vibrant mid-palate, concluding with a long, saline finish. If Les Charmes is denser and blockier, the Clos des Bouchères is finer-boned and more ethereal. Jean-Marc Roulot likes his 2020s out of the gates. Comparing them with his 2019s, wines which took time to come together with élevage and in bottle, he observes that "I see myself so much more in the 2020s." The whole domaine was picked between August 20 and 29, three days less than it generally takes Roulot's team, and he reports pHs and alcohols similar to 2017. In the cellar, he's using less new oak, adding ceramic vessels and foudres. The result is a compelling range of pure, precise and expressive whites that will delight admirers of Roulot's fine-boned, incisive style. I can't wait to revisit them from bottle.

Note: from a 1.37 ha parcel. Once again, the nose is quite cool and restrained with its array of pretty and elegant acacia blossom, lilac, exotic jasmine tea and lemon-lime hints. The elegance continues on the exquisitely refined medium weight flavors that possess really lovely detail that carries over to the lightly stony, very dry and sneaky long finale. As is almost always the case, this is an understated wine of class and grace that should be approachable young but offer up to a decade's worth of potential improvement.*Burghound Sweet Spot Outstanding!*
