Tasting notes
I know of no better source than Henri Boillot for Meursault Les Cras. The 2001 is liquid elegance. White flowers, spices, chalk, and minerals are found in its complex aromatics. Medium-bodied, it is sublimely refined, beautifully detailed, and deep. Its stone, mineral, crisp pear, and chalk flavors linger in its extended finish. This "strand of pearls" of a wine should be consumed over the next 7-8 years. Importer: Robert Kacher Selections, Washington, DC; tel. (202) 832-9083

Cool aromas of lime, flowers, minerals and mint. Bright and lean, even a bit austere today. Less opulent than the village wine but hiding more than it showing today. Finishes with subtle persistence.

Based in Meursault and farming some of the finest vineyards in the Côte de Beaune, Henri Boillot is a leading address in Burgundy. He crafts fine Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, but the estate is best known for its flagship monopole vineyard, Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru Clos de la Mouchère.
