Tasting Notes

While the majority of Boisson’s wines come from Meursault, they do produce a few other wines in neighboring villages such as Auxey-Duresses, where I believe some of the very best values in Burgundy can be found. It’s slightly unusual (and hard to pronounce) name has meant this village never really got the same exposure as some of its more prestigious neighbors. But make no mistake, in the right hands Auxey-Duresses can deliver Chardonnay of real precision and character. The 2021 Boisson has a brilliant mineral core with a fine and flinty backbone. There is tremendous energy and drive here, you know from the first sniff that you have something serious in your glass. This is certainly one of the best values in Boisson’s line-up, and fans of Puligny-Montrachet and Meursault should take notice, wines of this pedigree don’t come around very often, especially at less than $100.

The Producer

Pierre Boisson

The Boisson family's estate in Meursault spans 8.5 hectares, and they've been prominent winemakers in the region for over two centuries. Bernard Boisson and his two children, Pierre and Anne, share certain portions of the vineyard. While the wines are individually labelled as Boisson-Vadot, Pierre Boisson, and Anne Boisson, they're crafted using the same exact method. The vineyards are mainly in Meursault, with smaller plots in Auxey-Duresses, Monthelie, Pommard, and Beaune. Despite lacking organic certification, the estate refrains from using fertilizers or pesticides, opting for vine plowing to manage weeds and aerate the soil.

Traditional vinification is employed, with a manual harvest where grapes are sorted both in the vineyard and back at the estate before entering the vats. The wine matures in oak barrels for 15 to 18 months, occasionally longer depending on the vintage. Although new oak is sparingly used, there are no fixed rules regarding the percentage of new or old barrels; it depends on the vintage. The Domaine is adamant that the oak should never overshadow the wine's character. Bottling is carried out at the estate without filtration.
