2023 Pierre Boisson Bourgogne Les Vaux
From one of the most sought-after producers in Meursault, this Bourgogne Blanc is crafted with the same meticulous care as Pierre Boisson's village and Premier Cru wines. Sourced from the 'Les Vaux' parcel located on the border of Meursault, the wine is a masterclass in tension and minerality. It showcases the family's signature style: intense, powerful, and flinty. Expect a nose of crisp green apple, lemon zest, white flowers, and a hint of hazelnut. The palate is energetic and taut, with a precise, saline minerality that drives through to a long, complex finish, far exceeding expectations for a regional appellation.
