A nugget in Meursault:

• This area is divided into three constitutions: parents represent the field Boisson-Vadot with a surface area of 3.5 ha, the threads representing the Pierre Boisson with 3.5 ha of vineyards and the daughters of the Anne Boisson with a surface area of 1.5. Ha. The majority of their plot go to visit on Meursault d'Auxey-Duresses.For the production of their red wine, they have vineyards located in Pommard and Monthélie. It is run by the father and son team, Bernard and Pierre Boisson. Their value lies in managing the estate in a fair and respectable way, so as to get the most out of the different plots and avoid the weakness of cellar vinification. For their wines They use very little oak, very little in the village wines and the Bourgogne Blanc, and just 30 % for the superior cuvées. Pierre Boisson conceived Meursault Village thanks to his grandmother's vineyard, which had an average age of 50 years.  They also produce other bottles from Meursault's finest lieux dits, such as sous la Velle Grands Charrons planted in 1988 and Chevalières planted in 1982 . Not to mention that the Grands Charrons are very expressive, intense and Le Sous la Velle is the improved version of the Grand Charrons. Visit minerality is more noticeable in the cuvée Chevalières, with fruity aromas that stand out in its youth.
