In the Glass — Tasting Notes

Pale gold announces itself with quiet authority. Aromatics of citrus oil, white flowers, and warm buttered toast draw you in without artifice. On the palate, citrus flesh and mineral tension work in lockstep, acidity singing clean and long. Roundness speaks to mature vines—fifty years on average here—and careful winemaking. This is the kind of white Meursault that reminds you why the appellation matters.

The Winery — Jean-Claude Boisset

Grégory Patriat, the accomplished winemaker at this Nuits-Saint-Georges négociant, brings vineyard-led precision shaped by years as head viticulturist and assistant winemaker at legendary Domaine Leroy. Founded by the Boisset family in 1961 and now based in Les Ursulines, a converted convent with state-of-the-art gravity-fed cellar, the house produces wines truly reflective of their lieu-dits. The 2023 vintage benefited from one of the most generous growing seasons in seven years; Patriat's team harvested Chardonnay in a single, focused week (4–10 September) to preserve acidity before late-August heat spikes. Whole bunch pressing, wild-yeast fermentation in 450-litre demi-muids, and eighteen months in French oak (30% new) yielded a wine sitting in the sweet spot between richness and freshness. Le Limozin, nestled between celebrated Premier Cru parcels, carries the minerality of its marl-and-limestone soils without wood's weight.
