Note di degustazione
Next, the 2011 Meursault Clos des Bouchères 1er Cru from Domaine Guy Roulot served from magnum. This has lovely definition on the nose, real mineralité unfolding from the glass with touches of lemon thyme, truffle oil and light grilled almond aromas. The palate is very poised and precise, understated at first yet builds with aeration. Whilst I would not rank it amongst Jean-Marc Roulot’s finest creations, missing the sophistication of his very best, this 12-year-old Meursault is perhaps at its peak and should continue to drink well for another 15-20 years.

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.
He prefers the structure and minerality of this to his old Bouchères plot that Lafon now has. Rich and round. Honeyed and yet lively. Not the most expressive aromatically but very charming. Round and then a little chewy on the end. (JR)
