Incorporating wine from a number of superior lieux dits, including even Le Tesson, Bouchard's 2018 Meursault Village wafts from the glass with aromas of fresh pear, peach and hazelnuts. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, layered and textural, with fine concentration, racy acids and a long, elegantly chalky finish.

The 2018 Meursault Village comes from six hectares of vine from four lieux-dits. A fragrant bouquet of orange blossom, jasmine and light touches of fennel unfurls with aeration. The palate is fresh on the entry with crisp acidity, gentle and focused, and a welcome touch of bitter lemon lends tension on the finish.
