laying-down2020 Meursault, Perrières, 1er Cru, Domaine Bouchard Père & Fils (Magnum)

Bouchard has 1.2 hectares in the prime Dessous sector, towards the northern end of the vineyard. A wine of minerals rather than fruit, the nose is spicy, stony and saline. Tight and energetic, the wine is built around its acid structure. It is spine-tingling with a firm, dry grip at the finish. There is wonderful tension here. Drink 2026-2040.
