Vintage Character Anne Boisson Meursault “Les Chevalières” 2017 is a finely etched village-level Chardonnay from one of Meursault’s most admired lieux-dits, noted for its predominantly stony, limestone-rich soils that give a lifted, mineral profile. The 2017 vintage in the Côte de Beaune is widely regarded as very good, thanks to a warm, mostly dry growing season with limited disease pressure, which produced healthy, ripe grapes while retaining fresh acidity and clarity of flavor.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing In the glass, this wine typically shows lemon zest, ripe pear and white peach layered with white flowers and a pronounced crushed-stone edge, evolving toward hazelnut and grilled almond with time in bottle. The palate is precise yet generous, medium to full in body with medium-high acidity, a silken texture, and a long, saline, gently toasty finish shaped by barrel fermentation and aging on the lees. It is an elegant but characterful partner for dishes such as seared scallops with beurre blanc, roast chicken with morel cream, or a simple plate of Comté or aged Gruyère, and has the structure to reward several years of further cellaring.
Winery Background Part of the renowned Boisson clan in Meursault, Anne Boisson works vineyards that once formed part of Domaine Boisson-Vadot, which was gradually divided between her and her brother Pierre after their father Bernard stepped back from the domaine. From very small parcels in top village sites like Les Chevalières, she favors low yields and meticulous hand work in the vines to capture each terroir’s nuance. In the cellar, Boisson follows a traditional Burgundian approach with fermentation and élevage in oak barrels, restrained new oak, and extended time on lees to build texture without excess opulence. The resulting wines are celebrated for their purity, mineral drive and age-worthy structure, and the tiny quantities released each year—often just a handful of barrels for individual lieux-dits—have helped secure a near-cult following among Burgundy enthusiasts seeking finely chiseled, terroir-transparent Meursault.
