Bouchard Pere & Fils, Les Clous Meursault 2022

95 points James Suckling
"Wonderfully delicate floral aromas with citrusy freshness on the focused and concentrated palate. So pure and straight with fantastic integration of oak, fruit and body. Long pristine finish that has a flinty edge that adds a lot of excitement. From a 8.6 hectare plot at 300 meters altitude with a yellow marl and limestone soil reminiscent of Corton Charlemagne."

"There is a lovely freshness to Bouchard's Meursault Les Clous 2022 that brings a marvellous balance and length to the wine. The initial attack boasts aromas of citrus and apricot, acacia flowers and a saline minerality. There is richness as well, with notes of marzipan as the wine opens up on the palate. The grapes are from a parcel of over eight hectares that average 300 metres elevation, planted in stony marl soils that hold enough water to avoid stress in the summer's heat."

"The 2022 Meursault Les Clous has a slight reduction on the nose, making it difficult to read. The fresh palate has plenty of extract, orange pith, mandarin and light stem ginger touches, becoming quite waxy in texture towards the finish. With good weight and length, this is much better than the previous vintage."

"(from a massive 8.6 ha parcel). Notably cooler aromas are comprised by notes of lemon rind, hazelnut and acacia blossom. The medium weight flavors are finer but not denser while exuding evident minerality on the slightly drier and sneaky long finish. This is an excellent villages and is recommended, especially for those who have the patience to cellar it for up to a decade. One to look for, particularly for value." *Outstanding*
