Tasting Notes
This monopole Premier Cru is a fifth of the size of Boillot’s prized Clos de la Mouchère. The 0.63-hectare walled vineyard is a lieu-dit within Les Cras, with stony soils. It’s often a leaner style of Meursault, and that is true in 2023, with a touch of flinty reduction at this youthful stage. Beyond this, however, the wine has an appealing suppleness, with a nutty edge and vibrant stone fruit that surrounds a mineral backbone, building to a long, mouth-wateringly saline finish.

A fine even lemon yellow. Racy on the nose, not as immediately distinguished as Goutte d’Or but the qualities creep up on you. More linear, a suggestion of salinity., with layers of a pure limestone white fruit, plenty of dry extract affirms Henri Boillot. Very persistent.
