 Tasted by winelover1808 on 4/14/2024 & rated 93 points: had a few weeks ago but this was excellent. lots of white stone fruit but good acidity and lots of minerality. def on the lighter side body wise but in a really good spot to be enjoyed now and probably will stay in a nice window for the next 1-2 yrs before the fruit starts to fade. (128 views)
 Tasted by A.Hansen on 11/5/2023 & rated 92 points: Pure nose of stones, white fruit and petrol. The palate has good concentration and persistence. There are notes of minerals, stones, pear and orchard fruit. Classy. (464 views)
 Tasted by PLiu on 4/24/2023 & rated 93 points: This was an amazing pairing with stone crabs. It's a big and full Perrieres, more flashy and less elegant, but boy was it tasty. And has none of the 2015 heat and alc-y finish. Drink now or hold for another 12-18 mos. (659 views)
 Tasted by MRE on 10/16/2022 & rated 92 points: Fresh, clean and stringent, for a meursault, good acid, lemon, lime, apple, touch of pertoleum, good balance. (957 views)
 Tasted by Jon Gash on 8/13/2022 & rated 92 points: Fantastic Meursault from a great producer.
Refined not heavy. White flowers lemon zest. Beautiful with poached salmon.
Bouchard rarely disappoint (1060 views)
 Tasted by winelover1808 on 11/3/2020 & rated 93 points: love this. may need to buy more!
at first i smelled limestone and white flowers; as it opens i smell sweet rice, some salinity; mouthful has rounded out - some sweet lemon, lychee, hints of creme brulee, good minerality, some salinity, very very good acidic cut. very pale pale gold color but the mouthful is medium bodied despite the color. I really like this and think its very compelling for the price. this is also drinking very well at five years of age. (1861 views)
 Tasted by dvansteenderen on 6/14/2020 & rated 93 points: Off the wine list at a restaurant for a good price.
A photo of the DIAM cork because I did not shoot the label while in company.
This was a fine Perrières, I understand the praises to this wine, also when taking the price quality ratio into account. It performed very well around the table, especially for those who had the scallops/ vanilla dish. My own pairing was slightly more challenging, but the wine coped very well however.
Recommended and probably worth aging longer if you wish for it (with the DIAM cork results should be fine and free of premox?). (2065 views)
 Tasted by LWI on 2/16/2020 & rated 90 points: Blind. Somewhat reductive, bark and herbs, a bit rustic, not the longest. A disappointment when the identity was revealed. (1772 views)
 Tasted by richard.presser on 1/30/2020 & rated 92 points: Showing some Meursault richness, but still quite oncstrianed. Some forwardness of 2015 but still very good structure, showing it will age. Can drink now but better in some years. Acid structure is good despite forward flavours. (1476 views)
 Tasted by sammillard on 7/6/2019 & rated 94 points: Lemon lime acid energy, good amounts of grapefruit, melon and vanilla. Really enjoyable. Perhaps a few years too early with drinking it but it didnt matter. (1602 views)
 Tasted by NostraBacchus on 8/1/2018 & rated 92 points: High viscosity showing that this is a wine with a lot of extract and/or higher alcohol. Pretty notes of candied lemon zest, stoney minerality, chalk, mint, white flowers and some sweet spices. It‘s pretty full-bodied but not heavy, has medium-high acidity and feels dense but not over the top. Long finish. I am not the biggest fan of the 2015 white Burgundies, but this shows pretty balanced and the top-notch terroir is coming through. There is touch of alcoholic heat though, especially as the wine is warming up. (2380 views)
 Tasted by Xavier Auerbach on 5/28/2018 & rated 93 points: A private tasting (Restaurant Vineum, Rotterdam, NL): Tasted blind. This is a perfectly classical, stylish, elegant and flowing Meursault, succulent and ripe but minerally, seamless and refined, perfect oak integration, attractive hint of vanilla on the finish, very good persistence.

Burgundy

Les vins de Bourgogne (Bureau interprofessionnel des vins de Bourgogne) (and in English)

Burgundy - The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Cote de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Cote de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Cote Chalonnaise and the Maconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Cote d'Or. Also included by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.

# 2013 Vintage Notes:
* "2013 is a vintage that 20 years ago would have been a disaster." - Will Lyons
* "low yields and highly variable reds, much better whites." - Bill Nanson
* "Virtually all wines were chaptalised, with a bit of sugar added before fermentation to increase the final alcohol level." - Jancis Robinson

# 2014 Vintage Notes:
"We have not had such splendid harvest weather for many years. This will ensure high quality (fragrant, classy and succulent are words already being used) across the board, up and down the hierarchy and well as consistently from south to north geographically apart from those vineyards ravaged by the hail at the end of June." - Clive Coates

# 2015 Vintage Notes:
"Low yields and warm weather allowed for ample ripeness, small berries and an early harvest. Quality is looking extremely fine, with some people whispering comparisons with the outstanding 2005 vintage. Acid levels in individual wines may be crucial." - Jancis Robinson

# 2017 Vintage Notes:
"Chablis suffered greatly from frost in 2017, resulting in very reduced volumes. As ever, the irony seems to be that what remains is very good quality, as it is in the Côte d’Or. Cooler nights across the region have resulted in higher-than-usual acidity, with good conditions throughout the harvest season allowing for ripe, healthy fruit." - Jancis Robinson

# 2018 Vintage Notes:
"The most successful region for red Burgundy in 2018 was the Côte de Beaune. The weather was ideal in this area, with just enough sunlight and rain to produce perfectly balanced wines naturally." - Vinfolio
