This wine is the Bouchard Père & Fils domaine bottling from the Meursault appellation in Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune, with “Les Clous” indicating a specific vineyard parcel. Available listings identify it as 100% Chardonnay, organically grown, and fermented/matured in French oak with a style aimed at balance rather than overt richness. The 2022 vintage comes from a large parcel at about 300 meters altitude on stony limestone or marl soils, which helps explain the wine’s cooler, more precise character.
