Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. The 2011 Meursault 1er Cru Clos de Bouchères from Jean-Marc Roulot has an austere bouquet, with an attractive marine influence of seaweed and seashells, although it needs a little more intensity that should develop with continued bottle age. The palate is balanced with a pleasant fatness on the entry, viscous in texture. There is good fruit concentration here: plenty of matière with a ripe and slightly honeyed finish that suggests just a little botrytis perhaps. This does not quite evince the spectacular showing at the domaine last year, although it is very fine Meursault that will repay cellaring.
A rich style, featuring subtle flavors of lime, apple, spice and mineral. Beautifully integrated and smooth, with a graphite note lingering on the aftertaste.
