Domaine Boisson-Vadot is a small estate that has been producing classic Meursault for about 200 years. The family holdings are under different ownership (per confusing French inheritance laws) hence the different label names (Pierre, Bernard and Anne). But everything is made at the estate, with Pierre doing much of the heavy lifting these days. Pierre is also known to compare notes and talk shop frequently with his school age buddy Raphael Coche. There's no secret to the formula here. Just excellent vineyard management, mostly old vines and careful cellar work. The Boissons are very judicious with new oak and do little to no battonage during the long elevage. This results in clean, precise and beautifully transparent wines.
What importer Polaner Selections has to say about this wine...
VINEYARDA blend of 3 tiny plots all of which are too small to be bottled separately. The Meursault blend of Criots/Perchots no longer exists as Perchots was replanted in 2017 (first harvest in 2019) and Criots now stands alone as a lieu-dit Meursault in the Boisson lineup.SOILClay/LimesoneVITICULTUREVines are farmed using natural methods and grapes are hand harvestedVINIFICATIONTraditional vinification with native yeast fermentation

Focus On: Burgundy
Burgundy has long been the world's most famous wine region. But, underneath all the prestige, this region can be hard to get to know.
While Burgundy offers many great trophies from top producers in well-known villages like Vosne Romanee and Puligny Montrachet, it also offers excellent values to anyone willing to explore beyond the famous names. Our collection– one of the largest in the U.S. – has plenty of both!
From the very basics of Burgundy's regions and wines to the specific terroirs of individual single vineyards--
everything you need to know about Bourgogne is just a click away!
