The 2022 Bouchard Père & Fils Meursault Premier Cru Genevrières Magnum (1500ml) is an exceptional white Burgundy crafted from Chardonnay grown in one of Meursault's most prestigious Premier Cru vineyards. Produced by one of Burgundy's most respected houses, it showcases remarkable elegance, richness and mineral precision, while the magnum format offers even greater ageing potential. The nose is beautifully expressive, revealing aromas of white peach, pear and lemon zest, complemented by notes of citrus blossom, toasted hazelnut, brioche and subtle French oak.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with vibrant natural acidity and a beautifully textured, creamy mouthfeel, delivering flavours of ripe stone fruit, grapefruit and lemon curd layered with hints of roasted almond, delicate oak spice and refined mineral complexity. The finish is long, focused and beautifully balanced, combining richness with exceptional finesse and longevity.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this magnum is an outstanding choice for collectors and lovers of world-class Chardonnay seeking elegance, complexity and extended cellaring potential. The larger bottle format allows the wine to evolve more slowly, developing even greater depth over time. Enjoy after a short decant or cellar confidently over the next 15–20 years. Ideal with lobster, scallops, turbot, roast chicken with morels or mature Comté cheese.
