Meursault 2018 - Bouchard Père et Fils
Great wine of Bourgogne
• (89-91)/100 Parker
- By William Kelley in 2020: "Incorporating wine from a number of superior lieux-dits, including even Le Tesson, Bouchard's 2018 Meursault Village floats in the glass with aromas of fresh pear, peach and hazelnut. On the palate, it is textured, with fine concentration, racy acidity and a long, elegantly chalky finish."
- Would you like to taste this cuvée?
- It has a very aromatic bouquet with fruity and floral notes. The palate is also full of flavours, revealing a rich and mellow wine without any crudeness or heaviness. Very good ageing potential.

- How does the winemaker work this wine?
- The grapes are harvested by hand with small boxes of 13 kg. The estate carries out a regular, serious and careful sorting of each bunch.
Concerning the vinification, the pressing takes place in two phases: evacuation of the first juices, then pressing in 2-hour cycles.
The wines are aged for 8 to 10 months in French oak barrels, up to 10% new barrels depending on the vintage, then 2 to 3 months in stainless steel tanks.
