2023 Pierre Boisson, Meursault, Les Perchots

Pierre Boisson’s approach to Meursault is defined by an exacting reductive methodology, utilizing indigenous yeast fermentations and a protracted élevage of up to 22 months on fine lees without bâtonnage. Sourced from the 'Les Perchots' lieu-dit in northern Meursault, this bottling reflects a terroir of limestone-dominant clay that provides a structural counterweight to the appellation's characteristic breadth. The 2023 vintage conditions allowed for full physiological ripeness while preserving a firm backbone of tartaric acidity, a result of steady soil water reserves and meticulous harvest timing during the September heat. Boisson channels the year's inherent generosity into a tightly coiled architecture defined by dense mid-palate weight and a persistent, saline-inflected finish. This village-level expression emphasizes verticality and fine-grained phenolic grip, prioritizing structural longevity and mineral clarity over primary aromatics.
