Domaine Ballot-Millot is one of Meursault’s quiet greats, with Charles Ballot guiding the estate toward a tensile, mineral-driven style often compared to the Roulot school. Les Boucheres is the domaine’s smallest 1er Cru holdinga tiny plot of just a few rows tucked behind a tall stone murger that limits airflow and accelerates ripening. The 2019 vintage gives it a wider, generously fruited frame, but the appellation’s signature mineral grip stays put. Cool aromas of ripe orchard fruit and citrus peel, intense and chiseled flavors, real cellar life ahead. (NET pricing.)
