Domaine Roulot Clos des Boucheres Monopole, Meursault Premier Cru, France 2023

Clos des Bouchères Monopole, Meursault Premier Cru 2023 is a benchmark white Burgundy from one of Meursault’s most revered producers. Sourced from a tiny walled monopole parcel on shallow limestone soils, this wine combines Meursault’s hallmark richness with striking mineral precision. The 2023 shows aromas of citrus zest, white flowers, hazelnut, and subtle reduction, followed by a layered palate of orchard fruit, saline minerality, and a long, chalky finish. Powerful yet elegant, it is delicious now with decanting but built to age gracefully for decades.

"The 2023 Meursault Clos des Bouchères ler Cru has a cohesive bouquet with wonderful purity, but maybe the debuting Genevrières has a little more mineralité and bandwidth. The palate is very well balanced with lovely poise and purity, hints of praline and grilled walnut furnishing the persistent finish that lingers in the mouth. This will vie with the Genevrières in the future- it's fascinating to compare the duo." Vinous 93-95
