Tasting notes

Bouchard is replanting a big block in this site, so the 2022 Meursault 1er Cru Genevrières is a smaller cuvée than usual. Unfurling in the glass with notes of pear, white flowers, fresh hazelnuts and ripe citrus, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and vibrant, with a fleshy core of fruit that exhibits good concentration and cut.

About this wine

Bouchard Père & Fils is a renowned wine producer based in the beautiful region of Burgundy, France. With a rich history dating back to 1731, this esteemed winery has established itself as a true pioneer in the world of winemaking.

The Bouchard family has been dedicated to crafting exceptional wines for generations, and their expertise is evident in every bottle they produce. They have a deep understanding of the land and the grapes that thrive in the region, allowing them to create wines that truly reflect the unique terroir of Burgundy.

One of their most esteemed offerings is the Meursault Les Genevrières Premier Cru. This exquisite white wine is made from Chardonnay grapes grown in the Les Genevrières vineyard, which is known for its exceptional quality. The vineyard's limestone-rich soil and ideal sun exposure contribute to the wine's distinct character and complexity.

Bouchard Père & Fils takes great care in the production of their Meursault Les Genevrières Premier Cru. The grapes are hand-harvested at optimal ripeness to ensure the highest quality. They undergo a gentle pressing to extract the purest juice, which is then fermented in oak barrels. This traditional method imparts a subtle oak influence and enhances the wine's richness and depth.

The result is a wine that beautifully balances fruitiness, minerality, and oak notes. The Meursault Les Genevrières Premier Cru displays a vibrant golden color and exudes enticing aromas of ripe citrus, white flowers, and toasted almonds. On the palate, it offers a harmonious blend of flavors, including lemon zest, pear, and hazelnut, with a long, elegant finish.

Bouchard Père & Fils is not only known for their exceptional Meursault Les Genevrières Premier Cru but also for their extensive range of other Burgundy wines. They produce a wide variety of red and white wines from different appellations within the region, each showcasing the unique characteristics of their respective terroirs.

Their commitment to quality is unwavering, and they employ traditional winemaking techniques combined with modern innovations to create wines that are both classic and contemporary. Bouchard Père & Fils wines are highly sought after by wine enthusiasts and collectors around the world.
