Having called Meursault home since the 1890s, Domaine Boyer-Martenot has evolved into one of its most prestigious producers. The 2023 Bourgogne Chardonnay "Les Grands Champs" is a testament to their commitment to quality and terroir expression. This wine offers a deep, shimmering straw-gold hue with hints of green at the rim. A ripe and inviting nose of yellow apple, white peach, lime blossom, fresh cream, white flowers, and crushed stones greets you after a bit of oxygen helps the wine open up. It is medium-plus in body yet racy and mineral at the same time—a classic Meursault-like profile that is already well-articulated. Give this wine 20-30 minutes in a decanter and allow the temperature to creep up past 50 degrees to allow its full range of aromas and flavors to blossom, and be sure to lay a few bottles down to revisit in 3-5 years’ time—when it promises to be a downright explosive, opulent white wine. I love the mixture of mineral purity and unabashed luxury in this wine; this is what Meursault is all about! Pair it with a rich and satisfying seafood preparation as in the attached lobster bisque recipe.
