From the esteemed Anne Boisson, Meursault Sous la Velle 2022 offers a refined expression of Chardonnay from one of the Côte de Beaune’s most renowned villages. Grown in the Sous la Velle vineyard, this wine reflects the unique combination of the region’s clay-limestone soils and the careful winemaking approach that Boisson is known for.

The nose is immediately inviting, with aromas of zesty citrus—lemon, lime—intertwined with ripe stone fruit like peach and apricot. A subtle floral hint adds a touch of elegance, while the minerality from the terroir provides depth and focus. On the palate, the wine is smooth and creamy, with a soft texture that balances its lively acidity. The fruit is vibrant and fresh, with enough richness to carry the wine’s full body, and the finish is crisp, with a lingering touch of citrus and minerality.

This Meursault is a wonderful companion to seafood, roasted poultry, or creamy risottos. It’s already a pleasure to drink now, but the balance and structure suggest it will continue to evolve and deepen over the next few years. A classic expression of Meursault, Sous la Velle 2022 offers both immediate enjoyment and potential for aging.

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.
