Yvon Clerget - Meursault 1er Cru "Boucheres" 2022

Thibaud Clerget took over the family Domaine in 2015; one of the oldest Domaines in the village. The rebirth of one of Volnay’s little treasures then began with six hectares of vineyards located within the best climats of Burgundy. In 2019, Thibaud started a small négoce label to make more varied white wines. He purchases from various vineyards such as premier cru Meursault Les Bouchères, and Corton Grand Cru Le Rognet.

The premier cru Les Bouchères is a lesser known premier cru, located just below Porusots. It is a strikingly steep slope with south-east exposure. The soil here is rich in pebbles and calcareous rock.

Chardonnay ripe, fruity and accompanied by a light woodiness. The palate is dynamic and reassuring, very iconic of the denomination. Manual harvest. Aged from 12 to 18 months in French oak barrels, 25% of which are new. 100% Chardonnay.
