What is this wine?
Domaine Henri Boillot is one of Burgundy’s benchmark producers, renowned for white wines of crystalline precision and intensity. Les Perrières is Meursault’s most celebrated premier cru—often called “grand cru in all but name”—with rocky limestone soils that yield Chardonnay of minerality, tension, and great longevity. The 2018 vintage was warm and sunny, producing ripe, concentrated whites that remain balanced and cellar-worthy in the hands of a producer like Boillot.
