The 2018 Bourgogne Blanc 'Murgey de Limozin' from Pierre Boisson exemplifies the meticulous craftsmanship synonymous with this esteemed Meursault domaine. While classified as a regional Bourgogne appellation, the 'Murgey de Limozin' lieu-dit is situated on the lower slopes of Meursault, imparting a distinct character often associated with its more prestigious neighbours.
The 2018 vintage, marked by a warm growing season, yielded grapes of excellent ripeness and concentration. Boisson's approach prioritises purity and precision, with fermentation and ageing typically occurring in a combination of older oak barrels and stainless steel, allowing the inherent qualities of the Chardonnay to shine through. This bottling offers a compelling insight into the potential of well-sited regional Burgundy, showcasing both the generosity of the vintage and the producer's commitment to terroir expression.
Tasting notes
The 2018 Pierre Boisson Bourgogne 'Murgey de Limozin' presents a brilliant, pale gold hue in the glass. The bouquet is expressive, revealing notes of ripe yellow apple, white peach, and a delicate hint of toasted almond, underpinned by a subtle minerality. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a generous, yet balanced, acidity. Flavours of orchard fruit and citrus zest are complemented by a creamy texture and a touch of hazelnut from judicious oak influence. The finish is persistent, clean, and leaves a lingering impression of saline minerality and elegant fruit.
