Vintage Character Domaine Boisson‑Vadot ‘Pierre Boisson’ Meursault Les Perchots 2022 is a vibrant, mineral‑driven Chardonnay that captures the generosity of the 2022 vintage while showcasing the precision and terroir focus for which the Boisson family is renowned. The 2022 vintage in Burgundy was warm and generous, marked by abundant sunshine but tempered by cooler nights and timely rains, producing whites of ripeness, freshness, and supple texture. From the Les Perchots lieu‑dit, where vines average around 50 years of age, this cuvée opens with aromas of citrus, pear, and white peach, accented by floral notes, toasted almond, and a saline mineral edge.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing On the palate, it is medium‑bodied and elegant, with bright acidity, a textured mid‑palate, and a long, precise finish. Its vibrancy and depth make it a versatile partner for grilled sea bass with lemon butter, roast chicken with herbs, or a goat cheese tart, where its freshness and minerality enhance both delicate and savory flavors.
Winery Background The Boisson family has become one of the most respected names in Meursault, with Pierre Boisson continuing the domaine’s reputation for purity and terroir‑driven wines.
The estate’s holdings include old‑vine parcels in Meursault, Auxey‑Duresses, and Bourgogne, cultivated with meticulous vineyard work. In the cellar, the approach is restrained and traditional: fermentation with indigenous yeasts, long élevage in mostly used oak barrels, minimal bâtonnage, and no filtration before bottling. This philosophy emphasizes transparency, precision, and longevity, producing wines that are highly sought after by collectors and sommeliers alike. The Les Perchots climat, with its limestone‑rich soils and mature vines, is known for yielding wines of tension, minerality, and aging potential—qualities that Pierre Boisson captures with remarkable clarity in the 2022 vintage, offering a wine that is both expressive in youth and capable of graceful evolution in the cellar.
