"All the vines for this straight Meursault bottling hail from the Volnay side of the village and were originally from Pierre Boisson’s maternal grandmother. From what I could tell from this visit, Pierre seems to make quite structured examples of Meursault, in comparison to his sister’s more ethereal style- though of course they are currently working with quite different vineyards- and both styles are of very high quality. The 2009 Meursault AC from Pierre Boisson is a very fine, coolly-styled example of the vintage that offers up a complex and nicely reserved nose of apple, tart orange, stony minerality, a touch of sea salt and almond blossoms in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and very racy in personality, with a great core of fruit, excellent focus and cut and impressive length and grip on the structured and youthful finish. This will be a dynamite village wine with a few years of bottle age."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
The Cote de Beaune's largest white-wine village, known for rich, nutty, buttery Chardonnay of generous texture.
2009 in Burgundy was warm and sunny, producing ripe, rich and generous reds of hedonistic charm and supple tannins; the whites are opulent but can lack acidity, making them best enjoyed relatively young.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
