Tasting Notes
| Robert Parker | |
| The estate of Michel Buisson whose son-in-law Patrick Essa now takes the lead crafts white Burgundies for the Riesling or Chenin-lover, offering clarity, refreshment, and minerality yet not stinting on richness or structure, and wines whose track record in the cellar is among the best of any Chardonnay-based wines in the world. Slow, vertical pressing, unhurried fermentation, largely non-new barrels passive lees contact (i.e. no stirring), and late (unfined, and usually lightly-filtered) bottling figure in the Buisson regimen. | |
| Allen Meadows, Burghound 89-92 | |
| "Here the nose is still a bit on the raw side with fermentation aromas that have not yet completely dissipated though in the background one can discern ripe peach and peach hints that continue onto the full-bodied, powerful and rather muscular flavors that also display a natural sweetness on the mouth coating, linear and vibrant finish. This is actually an elegant Bouchères because despite the impressive size, it remains light and pure on the palate." |
