Tasting notes
The vast majority of the fruit for Boillot’s village Meursault comes from their own vineyards – making it almost a domaine bottling. With no new oak this year, the wine shows a slightly different side of Meursault – yet with all the richness you expect of this village. The nose is chalky and mineral, but the weight of ripe lemon and unctuous apricot fruit fills out the mid-palate. This generous fruit is off-set by almost biting, thrilling acidity and a saline, sea-spray, verging on iodine tang on the long finish.

The 2021 Meursault, a blend of five parcels across the village, offers good tension and energy, naturally in the smaller-scaled style of the year. Lemon peel, white flowers, mint and white pepper all grace this attractive village-level bottling from Henri Boillot. - Antonio Galloni
Taut and incisive, the 2021 Meursault Village offers up aromas of pear, orange oil, white flowers and toasted nuts, followed by a medium-bodied palate built around tangy acids, and concluding with a saline finish.
