Tasting Notes
Henri Boillot’s Meursault is entirely from domaine-owned parcels, all on the coteau (Les Petits Charrons, Chevalières, Casse Têtes, Luraule and Les Pelles, totalling 1.5 hectares). There is 25% less this year, sadly, due to frost. While retaining Boillot’s razor-sharp edge, this wine has a softer texture, with more voluptuous, sweet, peach fruit that fills the palate. This is modern Meursault, restrained and full of tension, with a tight core but also a generosity. Long and impressive.

Outstanding Top value - A cool yet expressive nose of full-on mineral reduction, green apple and citrus is trimmed in just enough wood influence to notice. There is a lovely underlying tension to the detailed and attractively textured middle weight flavors that terminate in a balanced, dry and youthfully austere finale. This offers very fine quality for its level in an age worthy package. Drink 2029+
The 2023 Meursault is racy and open-knit, qualities that make it an absolute joy to taste today. Lemon confit, white flowers, marzipan, spice and orange confit build nicely in the glass. A wine of harmony, the 2023 will be pretty hard to resist on release.
All domaine. En Luraules, Chevalières, Casse Têtes, Petits Charrons. Mid lemon yellow, not as immediately powerful as En Remilly, but more refined and then fleshes out on the second half of the plate, where it really impresses. A back loaded Meursault as it should be, yet with adequate minerals too. Very, very persistent. 20% new wood.
