Bouchard Pere et Fils, Meursault, Les Clous

Overall a solid wine, but it a bit awkward at the moment. A bit unbalanced with a hint too much creaminess. Hope it’s better in a year or so.

2019 vintage

This was quite nice. Fresh and open right from the start. Classic meursault minerality and floral notes with ripe orchard fruits. Easy to enjoy. Closed with diam cork.

2019 vintage

Butterscotch and pineapple aromas, and on the palate, with bright acidity, baking spice, pear and apple

2019 vintage

Tasty - has a little creaminess that hopefully will recede as it ages.

2019 vintage

Good

2016 vintage

Full rich sweet big and fat mature. Drink

2016 vintage

Initially on Day 1 it showed reduction and was not very expressive, almost harsh with poor mid and back palate. Day 2 under argon it filled out and is much better; typical Meursault notes. Round, not really focused yet but on the way. If drinking now probably an hour or two decant would do wonders. Overall a well made wine opened too early. Think this has years to go and will be quite good down the road.

Wines from SQ lounge / Suites : Didn’t like it at first but it did get better with air. Ripe, slightly exotic fruit with the bitter finish of 2016. Best to go straight to their 1ers.

2016 vintage

Excellent Meursault. Needs a little bit to open up still a bit young. Oak, vanilla, orchard fruit. Overall well balanced lacks a bit of acidity but think it’s a quality white burgundy.

2019 vintage

Soft and round and easy. Delicoud.oddly enough a bit nutty and maybe being to drinks up.

2019 vintage

Ich schließe mich den sehr positiven und teils überschwänglichen Bewertungen nicht an. Ja, dieser Meursault ist komplex und vielschichtig, hält auch lange an. Aber der Abgang ist viel zu brandig und alkoholisch. Die 14,5% vol. gehen einfach nicht spurlos vorüber, wie auch. Für mich enttäuschend! Dreimal verkostet, zu unterschiedlichen Temperaturen, mit und ohne Luft.

From magnum format. Took 30 minutes to open. Once open, a young and enjoyable village Meursault. It's good but not gifted, and for the price I paid for this magnum an incredible value that has another decade of great drinking ahead. Recommended for enjoyment. A magnum I had two years ago was completely closed.

2016 vintage

Light gold. On 👃 , honeycomb, light lemon zest, flint, apples, walnuts. Dry, silky body, throat burning banana, nectarine finish.

2019 vintage

Palate: dry, full body, high alcohol, med acidity, med+ intensity, med+ finish rich, creamy texture, cream, toast, bread, brioche, roasted almonds, ripe stone fruits, peach, grapefruits even hints of pineapples. (spiciness on the palate) Conclusion: very good

2019 vintage

Light, bright and suitable, lucky for a store last minute purchase, but not an investment

2019 vintage

Pale yellow. It did not scream of it's terroir very much, but it was served under sub-optimal conditions in an airport lounge and I thought I would try it. Usually airport lounge wines are dreadful, but this was perfectly tolerable if a bit uninspiring on the night. A bit thin maybe. Definitely chardonnay but I would have struggled to place it, however I'll give it the benefit of the doubt given the circumstances.

2016 vintage

White peach, mushy red apple (no peel), and earthy honey. Slight creaminess. Nice punch of lemon-water acidity on a long finish. Refined. I am sure it would benefit from aging but no regrets drinking it now.

2019 vintage

배, 파인애플, 흰꽃, 꿀, 기름냄새? 목넘김이 부드럽고 유질감이 혀끝을 감싸는 느낌 Best chardonnay i have ever experienced. 22.3.22

2016 vintage

Good for village. Still a baby. Enjoyable.

2016 vintage

Rather gorgeous.

2019 vintage

Cellar 13, Bouchard/Fevre 2019 preview, Atlanta Briefly: rich, spices, clove. "A nice house white" was a consensus comment among tasters. Good QPR. 90-91 range for me

2019 vintage

Fantastic, rich, buttery, pears

2010 vintage

From Magnum, this was in exc3ellent condition. It had good shape and a dense core of sweet, ripe peach fruit. There was a hint of spice and a ouch of white mushroom development. It had layers of flavour and not the usual Perrieres spine, but a fresh finish none the less.

2006 vintage

Superb showing. Excellent balance between the cut of the lemon & pineapple and the plush butterscotch, along with some marzipan and peach. Delicious. In fact, it was even better on the second and third nights. Over time flavours got fuller and melded together better.

2006 vintage

Entering its prime drinking window, can she another 3-5 years easily. Delicate toastiness from the oak. Very elegant and well-balanced. Aromas include ripe apple and melon. Very nice On the better end of village white burgundies

2016 vintage

Magnum, bought at auction. Awful chemical smell and even worse chemical taste. not like TCA, not like random oxidation. Don't know what it is but it went down the sink. This was an expensive (non) experience. I kept one glass full and it actually blew off after 4 hours and was sound underneath - a dense in proportion full bodied white. I think I made a mistake here.

2006 vintage

Definitely drink up time. Very pleasant nonetheless.

2010 vintage

Meursault Perrieres blind tasting 1988-2011 : Tight and closed, some grassy notes, not much aroma. The palate was very well balanced with good acidity. Looks like this one needs more time.

2006 vintage

Good village wine. Scratched the meursault itch

2016 vintage

Pleasant white burgundy, but clearly a villages in quality. It pours a moderate light straw yellow. The aroma is low intensity, light and airy of seashells, lemon peel, pear, crushed stone, white flowers and a hint of custard. The palate has high acid replaying pear, lemon and white flowers. Very light wine.

2016 vintage

Butterscotch, apricot; balanced mouthfeel, long finish, in a great spot

2006 vintage

Young fruity fresh enjoyable

2016 vintage

Nice depth and minerality with kiss of citrus on the finish.

2016 vintage

Not as full mouthed as the last bottle. Do think this will benefit for more cellaring. Great underlying stone tone to it. Will hold off on the others for a bit.

2016 vintage

SIA Wine Week; 10/15/2018-10/19/2018 (Singapore Airlines) : medium lemon; acidic, intense, with apricot, peach, cloves, limestone, and grassy

2016 vintage

Great showing here. Delicate and yet profound core, buttery and lush with a very nice backend. This provides simply what a beautiful Meursault Perrières can provide; a nice happy and admiratif smile followed by the simple uplifting feeling that life is indeed beautiful. Cheers,

2006 vintage

Slightly oxidized and overly oaky.

2006 vintage

So glad I got these and have more. Full mouth flavor and good fruit.

2016 vintage

Light straw color and delicate nose of white flowers. Light bodied Meursault with a crisp, tart finish.

2016 vintage

Purchased at Domaine and stored in cold cellar. Light transparent yellow with citrus, mineral nose and subtle oak. Viscous delicious palate of unripe mango and length to spare that finishes with roast marshmallow and Madagascar vanilla. Our Swedish house white and an early drinker that should be purchased every year to enjoy.

2006 vintage

Aroma: spicy toasted hazelnuts and flint. Some floral notes. Palate: juicy grapefruit on the start developing into more apple and pear flavors. Wood spice and minerals underneath. Excellent acidity, structure and length. Very good.

2016 vintage

I've had better aged Meursault. I'm not sure this is getting any better. The oak is heavy handed and it lacked some of the presence and mineral character I look forward to from Meursault. All that said it was still very enjoyable.

2006 vintage

Rich, broad, ripe pineapple, vanilla, sweet stone fruit, balanced with cutting acidity. Not quite as impressive as the previous bottle but still damned fine.

2006 vintage

Oh yeah, this is good. Full and concentrated, sweet honeysuckle, peach, stony seashore, a hint of struck match on the nose and palate. Lingering finish. I don't get a whole lot of oak on this; just enough to add some tension. A winner.

2006 vintage

Creamy and soft, doughy, leesy.

2016 vintage

All domaine. As it says on the label. The place keeps very good freshness for meursault. Creamy.

2016 vintage

Tasted blind. Great concentration of fruit here, tropical notes with lots of limestone. Quite oaky however, not fully integrated but I’m not sure more time would resolve that. I guessed Puligny, which I consistently get wrong with Meursault Perrieres.

2006 vintage

Sealed under Diam, this was drinking beautifully last night. It has some lactic, almond butter things going on. There are fresh lemon and tangerine fruits. It has plenty of saline minerality and shows excellent detail in the mouth. The finish is dry and chalky.

2010 vintage

Yeh, this ain't alright. I don't even know if there's a name for it. It's when all that's left is sweetness and nothing else. Bad.

2006 vintage

Are you sure?
