    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    Génot Boulanger, Meursault, Les Boucheres, 1er Cru, 2019

    A very youthful but relatively discrete nose belies the intensity and texture that awaits on the palate. Unctuous acacia honey, fruit skin and citrus zest notes grounded by an underlying earthiness giving complexity and balance to the ripe flavours. Powerful but well-framed and controlled. Long, concentrated and complex but not at all burdensome. The richness and unctuosity is kept at bay by cool, fresh fruits. There is style and nuance to this intense, rich-textured Meursault. A classic.

    The 2019 Meursault Les Bouchères 1er Cru comes from the middle of the slope, which tends to produce higher levels of natural acidity. It has an attractive licorice-tinged bouquet that blossoms in the glass with fine definition. The concentrated palate offers layers of lightly honeyed fruit counterpoised by the acidity. A touch of grilled walnut surfaces toward the finish, which feels very long. Excellent.
