2016 Henri Boillot Meursault 1er Cru Les Perrières
12/25/2022 - hermesbach32 Likes this wine: 94 Points
This wine is really starting to get to a nice place! Already ready to drink, however, still some years away from its peak.
It clearly lives up to the expectations and I agree with Allen Meadows that this is a 94 point wine and its peak might start at 2026.
The wine is incredibly concentrated with a fine spine of acidity - it does not seem heavy at all, just pure elegance! In that sense it is a textbook Meursault Perrières. However, it should be noted, that is clearly shows the style of the vintage, as mineral flavours are in the background (at least at the moment). Otherwise this is a perfect Burgundy...white and yellow orchard aromas with layers and layers of complexity that still require some time to unpack; perfectly integrated oak flavours which are also very complex and just need some time to integrate even more and a touch of sweetness that hints at a future where this might somewhat smell and taste like an old Chablis (with oak) with ripe developed fruit, honey, spices, almonds, nuts and hay in the future.
I absolutely love Meursault Perrières, since it is my favourite vineyards of the Côte de Beaune and if you don't mind a fruitier style, this is an amazing wine for you! And I suppose, the older it gets, the style of the vintage will show less and less and this will get much more "terroir-driven" and even better.
An excellent wine from an excellent domaine!

Smoky, spicy open nose with lots of sweet vanilla, caramel and nuts notes. The fruit has already developed a bit into very ripe stone fruit, orange marmelade and some tropical touches mixed in. Creamy mouth feel and quite buttery on the palate with a prominent sense of salinity, minerality and wet stones. This one is truly a beauty and a great wine that can be enjoyed over the next 4-5 years with pleasure. Very much in harmony and a wine of nice fruit ripeness and concentration. Very good Villages!
