Domaine Pierre Boisson : Bourgogne Blanc 2022

Characteristics and Tasting Tips for the Bourgogne Blanc 2022 from Domaine Pierre Boisson

Tasting

Colour

This Bourgogne Blanc reveals a pale yellow colour with golden highlights, clear and brilliant, hinting at the freshness and precision of the wine.

Nose

The nose opens with aromas of stone fruit such as peach and apricot, combined with notes of white-fleshed fruit (pear, apple) and citrus (lemon, grapefruit). Hints of dried fruit and lightly toasted hazelnut emerge with aeration, supported by a clean, stony minerality.

Palate

The palate is ample yet taut, carried by a lovely roundness and fresh acidity. Flavours of ripe pear and crisp apple blend with citrus notes and a subtle buttery touch, leading to a long, saline finish marked by lemon zest and lingering minerality.

Food and Wine Pairing

This Bourgogne Blanc pairs beautifully with seafood, in particular shellfish and grilled fish, whose briny freshness echoes the minerality of the wine. It is also an excellent match for white meats, such as roast poultry or poultry in a light sauce, as well as soft, lightly matured cheeses.

Serving and Cellaring

This Bourgogne Blanc 2022 is best enjoyed at a temperature between 10 and 12°C. Light aeration in a decanter allows the fruit and hazelnut aromas to express themselves fully. It can be enjoyed now, while also offering good ageing potential.

The Estate

Domaine Pierre Boisson is located in Meursault, in Burgundy, and belongs to the Boisson family, a renowned name in the Côte de Beaune. It is now run by Pierre Boisson, alongside his father Bernard and his sister Anne. The estate stands out for its precise viticulture, which respects the soils, and for long ageing periods that give rise to wines of great purity, rooted in the clay-limestone terroirs of Meursault.

The Vineyard

The grapes that make up this Bourgogne Blanc come from plots located in the commune of Meursault, in the heart of the Côte de Beaune. The vines are carefully managed on clay-limestone soils typical of this part of Burgundy, providing Chardonnay with an ideal setting for expressing minerality and tension.

Winemaking and Ageing

This Bourgogne Blanc 2022 comes from hand-harvested grapes and is vinified with indigenous yeasts, in a minimal-intervention approach. The wine is then aged for an extended period in oak barrels on fine lees, before being bottled without fining or filtration, in order to preserve all of the wine's substance and minerality.

Grape Variety

This Bourgogne Blanc is made from Chardonnay.
