Meursault Les Clous, Bouchard Père et Fils 2020

Tasting Notes

Mid lemon colour, a little bit of reduction, attractive volume here from this plateau site, the fruit offering some depth of flavour with lively tension. Ripe apple with a citrus tint, long and pleasing. Very good. ****

The 2020 Meursault Les Clous wafts from the glass with aromas of pear, grapefruit, hazelnuts, struck match, white flowers and Meyer lemon. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and expressive, it's an open, lively wine that concludes with a chalky finish.

Pale lemon in colour, this reveals a harmonious blend of sappy, smoky wood and fine ripe lemon and white pear on the nose. The palate is bright and vivid, with cleansing acidity cutting through notes of toasted cereals, buttery poached pears and lemon curd. The wood smoke offers savoury spice, matching the leesy, textural richness of the palate. A fine example of Meursault that offers typicity and approachability.
