Decanter, November 2021

This wine has everything. Bouchard farms 0.89ha of well-positioned vines in Montrachet – south of Ramonet on the Puligny side (and north of the first DRC block in Chassagne). The grapes are pressed slowly as whole...

Wine Spectator, September 2023

A creamy white, whose opulence is tempered by lively acidity, allowing space for lemon oil, peach, ripe apple and stony mineral flavors. Tightly wound, turning more focused and taut as this plays out on the long finish...
