DECANTER 95 POINTS - "Roulot's 2023 Clos des Bouchères is impossibly seductive, boasting a ripe pear fruit aroma with a floral note and hints of coconut water, flinty minerality, and smoky reduction. Winemaker Paul Delorme notes that the Clos des Bouchères is a stony vineyard, similar to Perrières. The texture is powerful, concentrated, and yet elegant with its saline edge. According to Delorme, the trick is to put the lees into suspension with a quick stirring before malolactic and then leave it alone since Roulot wants to bottle when the wine is slightly reductive."
WINE ADVOATE 93-95 POINTS - "The 2023 Meursault 1er Cru Clos des Bouchères is lovely, offering up aromas of nutmeg, orange zest, white flowers, freshly baked bread and struck match, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and racy palate that's pure, electric and saline. Over the last twenty years, Jean-Marc Roulot’s chiseled, incisive interpretation of Meursault, pared down to its essentials, has disrupted stereotypes of the appellation, charting a singularly original path. When his father, Guy, passed away in 1982, this historic estate was already well-known: along with René Lafon’s Clos de la Barre, Guy was one of the pioneers of lieu-dit bottlings at the communal level, showcasing the family’s holdings in some of the village’s finest hillside sites. After completing his acting studies at the Paris Conservatoire, in 1989 Jean-Marc himself returned to take the reins, with the confidence and aesthetic vision to chart his own course, flying in the face of the rich, buttery style then in vogue."
