"Located at the top of the band of premiers crus, Clos des Bouchères is often misunderstood and underappreciated. According to Paul Delorme, it is dominated by limestone and is most similar to Perrières. The 2022 vintage has delivered a spectacular result, with aromas of ripe pear and hawthorn flowers, a little coconut water and a powerful yet elegant saline concentration. The lees are stirred, but the reduction is very slight and not overdone. Drinking window 2030-2060."
Jasper Morris, 94-96 Points
"Pale colour. There is a magical nose here, just that little touch of maturity whiffing round the edges, a little tendril of honeysuckle. A wonderfully classy bouquet throughout. Brilliantly layered on the palate, with thoroughly engaging nuances of white fruit of different ripeness. A lovely fine long finish. This came in at 12.95% alcohol and pH 3.32 Drink from 2029-2037."
Burghound, 93-96 Points
"Moderate reduction is enough at present to push the fruit to the background. On the palate though there is a really lovely sense of verve to the refined, elegant and beautifully detailed middle weight flavors that flash evident minerality on the strikingly well-balanced and long finish. This is really classy and if you're someone who enjoys finesse, look no further as this is quite fine."
Wine Advocate, 93-95 Points
"Roulot's 2022 Meursault 1er Cru Clos des Bouchères delivers aromas of pear, peach, green apple and orange oil mingled with toasted nuts, white flowers and bread dough. Medium to full-bodied, supple and satiny, it's rich and layered, with a gourmand, charming profile and a long, saline finish."
Vinous, 93-95 Points
"The 2022 Meursault Clos des Bouchères 1er Cru, which has been produced since 2011, has a fresh and quite marine-influenced bouquet that gains intensity with aeration: sea spray, cockle sheds and touches of peach skin lend a soupçon of exoticism. The palate is very well-balanced with a silver bead of acidity. There’s just the right amount of spiciness here; it’s quite linear towards the finish, but this reeks of sophistication. Drink 2026-2053."
