The 2020 Bouchard Père & Fils Meursault 1er Cru Genevrières is a refined Chardonnay from Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune, showing lemon, white peach and ripe pear with white flowers, hazelnut and fine mineral notes.
On the palate, it is rich yet precise, with bright acidity balancing a smooth, textured palate of citrus and orchard fruit. Gentle nutty and savoury notes add depth before a long, dry and mineral-driven finish.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Chardonnay drinkers seeking structured Premier Cru Meursault with freshness and developing complexity. Best enjoyed now or through 2035. Serve lightly chilled with seared scallops, butter-poached marron, roast turbot or chicken with morel mushrooms.
