"As the scores and commentaries clearly confirm, I was knocked out by the quality of what I found here in 2022." -Burghound
In recent vintages, it has become very clear that Roulot has Clos des Bouchères profoundly dialed.
Each release from this monopole is even more brilliant than the previous one. As Burghound's note gestures towards, the 2022 Bouchères is stunning.
In any vintage, Clos des Bouchères is a thrilling wine that combines explosive power with a cool precision and intricate delicacy. The wine always amazes with how it combines saturating minerality with a dazzling gracefulness. It has a tactile saline impression with beautiful delineation and incredible length.
Regarding the 2022, Burghound writes "if you're someone who enjoys finesse, look no further as this is quite fine." We couldn't agree more. Roulot seems to have teased out every drop of finesse from the site. The 2022 Bouchères amazes in how it combines saturating minerality with a dazzling gracefulness. It's absolutely riveting.
I'll wrap this up. Roulot is one of the masters of white Burgundy, and the 2022 Clos des Bouchères shows him at the top of his game.

Burghound: "Moderate reduction is enough at present to push the fruit to the background. On the palate though there is a really lovely sense of verve to the refined, elegant and beautifully detailed middle weight flavors that flash evident minerality on the strikingly well-balanced and long finish. This is really classy and if you're someone who enjoys finesse, look no further as this is quite fine."
