2022 Meursault, Les Perrieres, Bouchard Pere et Fils
Bright and tensile, Bouchard's 2022 Meursault 1er Cru Perrières offers up aromas of pear and green apple mingled with hazelnuts, white flowers and wet stones. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive, it's racy and electric, concluding with a saline finish. ~ (94) William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 1-18-2024

Cask sample. This is both more stony and more intensely citrus than the Genevrières. Mouth-watering from the start, long and moderately concentrated with an attractively chalky texture on the finish. ~ (16) Julia Harding, JancisRobinson.com 1-17-2024
This is also quite aromatically cool with a beautiful array of prominent mineral reduction aromas that are nuanced by hints of green apple, exotic tea and plenty of citrus influence. The succulent and refined medium weight flavors possess an absolutely gorgeous mouthfeel while exuding an almost pungent minerality on the moderately austere and wonderfully long finish. This is both stylish and classy though note well that it is very much built to age. This too is one to strongly consider. ~ (95) Allen Meadows, Burghound 6-10-2024
What a fascinating and almost totally mineral wine this is! So cool and restrained for the hot year with a dangerous freshness. Lots of wild herb and wild flower character, too. Staggering finish in which ripeness and mineral energy are almost perfectly intertwined. From two plots with very rocky limestone soil. ~ (99) James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com 6-30-2023
