From Grand Cru Imports:

"Domaine Roulot has always been among the best producers of Chardonnay in Burgundy. Under the guidance of Jean-Marc Roulot, the domaine is now amongst the few whose wines are always sold out even before they are in bottle. Jean Marc's wines have the same precision and energy as the individual. Like the man, they are full of spirit and intensity.

Les Boucheres is a relatively small cru, totaling around 4.41 ha under vines, and Jean-Marc’s Clos des Bouchères is walled off slice of this cru, about 1.38 hectares in total, planted in 1950 and 1980. Jean-Marc acquired this Clos in 2011. Its shallow, stony soils lie over oolitic limestone laced with marl and clamshells, adding distinct salinity to the wine. Bouchères is all length on the palate; intense, elegant and refined."

From William Kelley:

"The 2023 Meursault 1er Cru Clos des Bouchères is lovely, offering up aromas of nutmeg, orange zest, white flowers, freshly baked bread and struck match, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and racy palate that's pure, electric and saline."

Winemaking
The elevage is relatively long of around 18 months, while the wines are being racked into stainless steel tanks after a year. Aging on lees for one year in barrels and six months in vats using only natural yeasts reduces any need of batonnage.
