2022 - Domaine Bouchard Pere & Fils - Blanc - Meursault

Bouchard Père & Fils is one of Burgundy's major négociant-éleveurs, with deep roots in the Côte de Beaune and significant vineyard holdings in Meursault itself. This is village-level Meursault: Chardonnay from one of Burgundy's most celebrated white-wine communes, handled by a house with the scale and cellar expertise to deliver consistent, well-structured wine.

Expect the hallmarks of the appellation, a rich, nutty core, gentle buttery weight, and good mineral length, without the austerity of a younger producer finding its feet. On board, it works across a wide stretch of the menu: shellfish, oily fish, creamy pasta, and cheese boards all suit its texture and weight.
