The 2020 Bouchard Père & Fils Meursault Premier Cru Charmes is a refined Burgundy Chardonnay showing lemon, white peach and ripe pear with hazelnut, white flowers and subtle mineral notes.
On the palate, it is rounded and finely textured, with bright acidity balancing citrus and orchard fruit alongside gentle nutty and savoury character. The finish is dry, focused and persistent, with a clean mineral edge.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Chardonnay drinkers who enjoy textured Meursault with freshness and mature complexity. Best enjoyed now or through 2034. Serve lightly chilled with seared scallops, butter-poached marron, roast chicken with tarragon or mushroom and leek risotto.
