FEATURES
The 2021 Pierre Boisson Meursault "Les Perchots" hails from a challenging yet promising vintage in Burgundy. The 2021 growing season was marked by catastrophic frost events in April, leading to significant crop losses, especially for white varieties in the Côte de Beaune. A cool, wet, and disease-pressured summer followed, testing vignerons. Despite these difficulties, diligent winemakers produced wines of genuine beauty, characterized by elegant, classic character, moderate alcohol, and fresh fruit profiles, often compared to 2017 and 2016 vintages. The whites, in particular, are described as light to medium-bodied, lively, and precise, with fresh but not extreme acidity and a slender, silky texture. This specific Meursault is noted for its rich, concentrated, yet elegant and incredibly refined taste, with abundant minerality and a persistent finish. Its expressive aroma is filled with floral and mineral shades. Community reviews highlight notes of lemon, apple, fresh apricot, butter, sweet corn, and marzipan. 【A testament to Burgundian resilience, offering elegance and precision despite a challenging vintage】. The Boisson family is known for their traditional methods, long aging in oak barrels (with minimal new oak), and bottling without fining or filtration, aiming for an authentic expression of terroir.
🍴 Food Pairing: This Meursault is an ideal accompaniment to festive or gourmet dishes of noble fish like sea bass or sole, poultry such as Bresse chicken, shellfish, pasta, or rich fish like salmon and tuna. It also pairs well with mild and soft cheeses.
🥂 Fit for Event: Perfect for a sophisticated dinner party, a celebratory meal, or a special occasion where a refined and expressive white Burgundy is desired. Its elegance and precision make it suitable for a discerning palate.
