Pierre Boisson is a young winemaker based in Meursault who has built a reputation among the specialist Burgundy trade and the importers who follow independent small-domaine production with close attention. The estate produces wines from a range of Meursault village lieux-dits and neighbouring appellations with an emphasis on natural farming, native yeast fermentation and minimal intervention in the cellar, producing Chardonnay that prioritises the expression of individual vineyard character over conformity to the commercially dominant Meursault style. Les Perchots is one of the village-level lieux-dits within the Meursault communal appellation, a site that falls outside the Premier Cru hierarchy but whose wines from quality-focused producers demonstrate the genuine interest and quality potential of the village’s well-situated second-tier plots.

The 2019 Meursault vintage produced white wines of excellent richness and aromatic complexity from warm, dry conditions that concentrated the sugars and aromatics in the Chardonnay while preserving a good level of natural acidity. For a village lieu-dit wine from a producer of Boisson’s philosophy and precision, the 2019 vintage provides generous primary fruit and textural weight that balances naturally with the mineral character of the Perchots terroir. The magnum format, providing slower and more even development than the standard bottle, is well suited to a wine of this ambition: a village-level Meursault from a serious independent producer, offered in a format that invites patience and rewards it with a drinking experience more nuanced than the standard bottle typically provides.

Pierre Boisson’s wines have attracted attention from specialist importers in the United Kingdom, the United States and Asia who follow Meursault’s independent small domaines with seriousness. The combination of a named village lieu-dit, a quality vintage, and the magnum format from a producer whose wines are rarely available in this size makes this offering of particular interest for collectors who seek Meursault of genuine character and independent producer identity outside the well-known Premier Cru names and major négoçiants.

Pale gold with a generous and aromatic nose of white peach, toasted hazelnut, lemon cream, fresh butter and a fine mineral thread from the Meursault limestone soils. Full-bodied on the palate with excellent concentration from the 2019 vintage conditions, good natural acidity and a long, generous, classic Meursault finish. Best from 2024 through 2033.
