Pierre Boisson Les Perchots – Meursault – White – 2021:

 

The Meursault Benchmark: Les Perchots by Pierre Boisson

Pierre Boisson’s Meursault Les Perchots is a stunning example of precision Chardonnay from the heart of the Côte de Beaune. Sourced from a highly coveted lieu-dit, this wine strikes a masterful balance between the appellation’s signature rich, nutty profile and the producer’s lean, mineral-driven style. A true collector’s item in White Burgundy.

Tasting Notes

• Appearance: Bright, pale gold with greenish reflections.
• Nose: Intense and complex, featuring layers of toasted hazelnut, fresh churned butter, white peach, and a pronounced flinty minerality.
• Palate: Full-bodied and generous on the attack, offering a creamy, textured mouthfeel that is beautifully framed by vibrant acidity and saline tension. The structure is chiseled and impeccably elegant.
• Finish: Long, lingering, and pure, concluding with notes of candied citrus and subtle sweet spice.

Pairing & Serving Suggestions

Serve chilled, but not cold (54-57°F / 12-14°C), to allow its aromatic complexity to shine. This wine is built to age but offers immense pleasure in its youth, especially after decanting. Pair it with high-end seafood or rich poultry dishes.
