The 2019 Meursault 1er Cru Les Perrières has turned out very nicely, offering up aromas of pear, lemon oil, wheat toast and oyster shell. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and chiseled, it's stony and saline, with tangy acids and a long, chalky finish. As is so often the case with this climat, the site dominates the vintage.

Unwinding in the glass with aromas of white flowers, waxy citrus rind, green pear, fresh mint and nutmeg, the 2018 Meursault 1er Cru Les Perrières is medium to full-bodied, chalky and introverted, with terrific tension and structuring dry extract in this warm vintage, concluding with a long and mineral finish.

Boillot’s 2011 Meursault Les Perrieres brings together the overt fruit of the Charmes and the equally intense minerality of the Genevrieres. The Charmes is quite big and broad-shouldered on the palate, with great power and intensity from start to finish. I especially like the way the aromas and flavors find an extra gear of focus on the pointed, nuanced finish. Anticipated maturity: 2014+. (Not yet released) Henri Boillot recently finished his move to a new modern cellar in Champ Lins, one of the industrial sections of Meursault. Boillot describes his 2011s as having a bit more richness and better balance of fruit and acidity than the 2010s. Based on what I tasted, it’s hard to argue that point. Boillot seems to be one case where the 2011s have the potential to be better across the board than the 2010s. As is often the case here, the village wines are particularly strong.

The 2009 Meursault Perrieres presents an intense, almost extreme expression of Perrieres in its full-bodied, opulent fruit and equally amped up mineral components. This is a decidedly showy wine that isn’t short on shynees. Big, bold and beautiful pretty much sums it up. Despite the wine’s size the signature elements of Perrieres come through loud and clear. Anticipated maturity: 2015+. This is a beautiful set of wines from Henri Boillot’s negociant line. The entry-level wines in particular offer fabulous value. If anything, those are the most interesting wines here. When tasting Burgundy it is tempting to assume that premier crus are better than villages, and grand crus are better than the premiers, but that is often not the case, especially in a warm vintage where lesser sites ripened to a greate extent than is typically possible. Shrewd readers will find many jewels in this lineup, but they won’t be in the most likely places. In 2011 Boillot will have several new wines in his range, including Referts and Combettes. The 2009 villages were bottled in November, while the premier crus were bottled in January 2011. Importer: Various US importers, including Massanois Imports, Washington, DC; tel. (202) 470-6769

The Boillot 2007 Meursault Perrieres – as in past years, representing a mere 2 barrels from near the Clos de Perrieres – both smells and tastes of ripe peach and kiwi dusted with chalk. Its fruit is more overtly sweet than that of most of its fellow premier crus in this collection, but at the same time it doesn't by any means lack for minerality in the sense of chalky, stony, and saline inflections, and there is an exuberant finishing refreshment here – along with nips of citrus zest and brown spices – that reel you in for the next sip. This polished and energetic rendition of its great site should gain from a few years' bottle age and last for at least the better part of a decade. As explained in my report in issue 180, Henri Boillot’s domaine is now legally known by his name rather than that of his father Jean, and is thus eponymous with his negociant business. Furthermore, given what seems to be a stylistic convergence as well as given Boillot's own preference in presenting his wines this year, I have folded together the coverage of these two entities, noting in the text of my notes those wines that come from the domaine. Boillot did not begin picking until the second week in September, harvesting fruit that he reported required only occasional, minimal chaptalization and had higher tartaric than malic acid, in contrast to their proportions in 2008. Since Boillot managed to achieve his ideals of “precision and minerality” even in the ripe 2006 vintage, it will come as no surprise that they have been brilliantly achieved in 2007. A preference for volume of healthy lees rather than their stirring and (as mentioned in my report on his 2006s) the utilization of 350-liter barrels rather than barriques are surely among the factors that permit these wines to marry richness with refreshment and clarity. On the other hand, even the wines of lesser appellation that receive less barrel exposure are still given extended time on their fine lees in tank before bottling, Boillot being a believer that "time is of the essence" to great white Burgundy, not in the proverbial sense but rather in that of taking enough if it.

Boillot's 2017 Meursault 1er Cru Les Perrières is superb, and one of the highlights of the range this year, unfurling in the glass with notes of lemon oil, crisp green apple, struck flint and smoky reduction. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, stony and tensile, with considerable depth, concentration and chewy dry extract. It's indelibly marked by the site that produced it.

The 2013 Meursault 1er Cru les Perrières did not quite deliver as much as the Meursault Charmes or Genevrières. It has a crisp floral bouquet with yellow flowers and wet pavement scents, more backward than the Genevrières. The palate is crisp and fresh with a keen line of acidity and a rather conservative, straitlaced, perhaps rather reticent finish. This was a rather perplexing showing.

Representing a mere 5 barrels, the Boillot 2006 Meursault Perrieres smells brightly of lemon, lily-of-the-valley, buddleia, and fresh pear, and displays more delicacy and lift than the corresponding Charmes. With an irresistible sweet, saline savor and subtle suggestions of wet stone, it delivers flowers and refreshing citrus all the way through a long, lively, airy, yet palate-staining finish. This terrific advertisement for the grand cru virtues of Perrieres should repay 7-9 years- cellaring, if not more. Boillot says the plot in question is impeccably-tended, but the vines are relatively young. Henri Boillot's ambitious and burgeoning negociant arm is made up in large part of many small bottling lots, representing remarkably many of the Cote d-Or's most prestigious crus. -Precision and minerality- are words he offers to explain his intentions even in a vintage as ripe as 2006, and for the most part he walks the accompanying walk, with wines (largely assembled in tank) that showed more generously and expressively than did Boillot's estate wines on the same day.
