Tasting notes
This vineyard sits above Goutte d’Or with red clay over white marl. Late-ripening, Frédéric Weber finds it is always the most appealing of their Meursault Premiers Crus in youth. The nose is delicious, with toasty notes, delicate white blossom and crushed chalk. It’s vibrant on the palate, showing some generous white peach, yet tauter lemon fruit is what dominates – making for an elegant Meursault Premier Cru. Exclusive to FINE+RARE.

Aromas of hazelnuts, pear, white flowers and freshly baked bread introduce the 2022 Meursault 1er Cru Les Bouchères, a medium to full-bodied, satiny and textural wine with a fleshy attack that segues into a layered, concentrated mid-palate, concluding with a long, saline finish.
