Green Apple, Lemon Confit, and Refined Mineral Tension

The 2023 Domaine Henri Boillot Meursault is a refined, energetic, and beautifully back-loaded white Burgundy from selected estate-owned hillside parcels. Uniting fruit from prime lieux-dits like Chevalières, Petits Charrons, Casse Têtes, and En Luraules, it balances mid-palate fleshiness with razor-sharp limestone tension. Soaring aromas of green apple, lemon confit, citrus zest, and mineral reduction open into a medium-bodied, satiny palate defined by vibrant energy, elegant oak integration, and a long, persistent finale.

Terroir, History & Acclaim

Critical Recognition:
Jasper Morris MW 91-94 pts
Burghound 90+ pts
  • 91-94 Points ★★★★☆ - Jasper Morris MW (Inside Burgundy): All domaine. En Luraules, Chevalières, Casse Têtes, Petits Charrons. Mid lemon yellow, not as immediately powerful as En Remilly, but more refined and then fleshes out on the second half of the plate, where it really impresses. A back loaded Meursault as it should be, yet with adequate minerals too. Very, very persistent. 20% new wood. Drink from 2028-2032. Tasted Oct 2024.
  • 90+ Points (Outstanding, Top Value) - Allen Meadows (Burghound): A cool yet expressive nose of full-on mineral reduction, green apple and citrus is trimmed in just enough wood influence to notice. There is a lovely underlying tension to the detailed and attractively textured middle weight flavors that terminate in a balanced, dry and youthfully austere finale. This offers very fine quality for its level in an age worthy package.
  • 100% Domaine Hillside Terroir: Entirely sourced from Henri Boillot's high-altitude estate holdings in top Meursault lieux-dits, including En Luraules, Chevalières, Casse Têtes, and Petits Charrons. The rocky limestone-dominant soils impart intense mineral tension and electric acid drive.
  • Masterful Winemaking Precision: Vinified with meticulous care using whole-bunch pressing and slow aging in 350-liter French oak barrels (~20% new). The larger barrels preserve the pristine fruit clarity and chiseled limestone identity without overwhelming oak influence.

Highlights

  • 100% Chardonnay harvested entirely from estate-owned hillside vineyards in Meursault.
  • A radiant 2023 release packed with green apple, lemon confit, mineral reduction, and citrus zest.
  • Crafted by Domaine Henri Boillot, offering 8 to 12+ years of exceptional cellar potential.

Tasting Notes

  • Appearance: Mid-lemon yellow with brilliant greenish reflections.
  • Nose: Cool, refined, and mineral-driven. It opens with aromas of green apple, lemon confit, and citrus zest, accompanied by mineral reduction, white flowers, and subtle toasted oak.
  • Palate: Dry, medium-bodied, and beautifully detailed. The entry brings a focused wave of citrus and orchard fruit that fleshes out across the mid-palate, propelled by chiseled acidity into a long, youthfully austere, mineral finish.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve slightly cool at 11–13°C to accentuate its bright citrus energy and limestone minerality.
  • Decanting: A brief 20-to-30 minute decant helps open its refined layers if enjoying young. Best enjoyed from 2028 through 2038+.
  • Western Pairing: Pan-seared sea scallops, sole meunière, roasted poultry in cream sauce, or goat cheese.
  • Asian Pairing: Steamed spotted grouper with ginger and scallions, braised abalone, Hainanese chicken rice, or dim sum.
