The legendary Meursault terroir reveals a delicate cuvée and an unforgettable tasting experience.
More infoWith a reputation for complex and flavoursome white wines, the commune of Meursault is without doubt home to the best of Chardonnay in the Côte de Beaune. Perched at approximately 260 metres above sea level, the vines thrive on limestone marl soils, nurtured without chemical fertilisers or herbicides, and manual soil ploughing. This meticulous approach is also embraced in the winery. After meticulous manual harvests, the carefully sorted fruit undergo traditional, low-intervention vinification. Lastly, the cuvée is aged for several months in oak casks, 25% of which are new, before being bottled unfiltered.
The bright golden colour reveals an expressive and complex bouquet with delicious butter and honey notes mingling with vanilla combined with smoke. The intense mouth strikes a perfect balance between complexity and minerality, leading in a deliciously persistent finish.

About the Producer Pierre Boisson
Pierre Boisson est le fils du célèbre Bernard Boisson (domaine Boisson-Vadot). Avec sa soeur Anne, ils reprennent petit à petit le domaine familial. Tous deux produisent également des vins sous leurs propres noms. Que ce soit pour le domaine Boisson-Vadot ou Pierre Boisson dont il est ici question, les blancs et les rouges sont absolument remarquables. Situé à Meursault, le domaine Pierre Boisson s'étend sur 3,5 hectares. Les vignes sont travaillées « à l'ancienne », sans engrais chimique et avec labourage des sols. Les élevages sont longs et avec très peu de fûts neufs, les bâtonnages sont menés en douceur et les vins ne sont pas filtrés. Pierre Boisson fait le choix d'élevages très longs dans des barriques âgées pour ne pas marquer le vin. Les meursaults, profonds et taillés pour la garde se démarquent ainsi du reste de la production. Les prix demeurés raisonnables en font l'une des toutes meilleures adresses de côte de Beaune.
