Domaine Genot Boulanger Meursault Boucheres Premier Cru 2023 750ml
The word "bouchot" in Burgundian means "bush" or "small grove." At the time, the presence of bushes was used to identify vineyard sites. In this one, which is one of the smallest in Meursault, the rock is so prevalent that only bushes grow there, hence its name. Our 0.61-hectare Chardonnay plot, planted in the 1990s, is located southwest of the village and faces southeast. The terroir is characterized by a steep slope and shallow soils where bedrock is never far away. The vines benefit from a very steep and stony clay-limestone soil with a light, golden hue. TASTING -
The nose identifies the great Meursault: a bouquet where notes of candied lemons, bay leaves, fine herbs, and iodine blend, contrasted by some woody notes. One senses a lot of distinction.
The palate reveals a Meursault that is taut yet sensual, spreading its rich fruitiness with as much pleasure as nobility, and a lot of balance. Lovely bitter hints enliven the finish, evoking thoughts of cooking rare, rock fish, and festive poultry.
