Pierre Boisson Les Grands Charrons – Meursault – White – 2017:

 

Pierre Boisson Meursault ‘Grands Charrons’: The Epitome of White Burgundy

The Domaine Pierre Boisson, a discreet but highly coveted producer, delivers one of the most compelling expressions of Meursault with its ‘Grands Charrons’ bottling. This single vineyard is strategically located, extending from the prestigious Premier Cru ‘Les Gouttes d’Or,’ giving the wine an undeniable pedigree and an exuberant ‘Meursault-y’ character.

Pierre Boisson’s meticulous winemaking-including old vines, rigorous sorting, and long, non-filtered aging in mostly used barrels-results in a Chardonnay of profound depth, stellar purity, and exceptional age-worthiness. This is a must-have for serious collectors and lovers of fine White Burgundy.

Tasting Notes

• Appearance: A shimmering gold, gaining rich amber tones with bottle age.
• Nose: Intense and focused, offering layered aromas of white orchard fruit (peach, nectarine), bright citrus (grapefruit), linden, fresh butter, and a distinctive smoky, flinty minerality.
• Palate: Full-bodied and rich, the wine coats the palate with a creamy texture (toasted almond, hazelnut) perfectly balanced by a zesty, linear acidity. It boasts impressive concentration and a remarkably long, savory finish.

Pairing & Serving

This wine demands refined cuisine. Decanting is highly recommended, and serve slightly chilled at 54-57°F (12-14°C).

• Suggested Pairings: Pan-Seared Scallops with Brown Butter Sauce, Roasted Lobster with Drawn Butter, Veal Sweetbreads with Mushrooms, Aged Gruyère or Comté cheese.
