Bernard Boisson-Vadot Meursault Les Grands Charrons 2016

$42499

The Boisson family in Meursault are true specialists, using at most 30% new oak and preferring subtlety to power. Bernard is the patriarch, and his son Pierre is one of our very favorite producers of Meursault. Les Grands Charrons is a top village lieu-dit on the slope above the village, and Bernard calls it the most Meursault-y of the family's three village bottlings. Classic, restrained, terroir-driven white Burgundy from a domaine that has been quietly setting the standard for years.

More about Bernard Boisson-Vadot

Domaine Boisson-Vadot is a small estate that has been producing classic Meursault for about 200 years. The family holdings are under different ownership (per confusing French inheritance laws) hence the different label names (Pierre, Bernard and Anne). But everything is made at the estate, with Pierre doing much of the heavy lifting these days. Pierre is also known to compare notes and talk shop frequently with his school age buddy Raphael Coche.

There's no secret to the formula here. Just excellent vineyard management, mostly old vines and careful cellar work. The Boissons are very judicious with new oak and do little to no battonage during the long elevage. This results in clean, precise and beautifully transparent wines.
