Domaine Boyer-Martenot is globally revered for capturing the absolute apex of Meursault precision, guided by fourth-generation winemaker Vincent Boyer. Moving completely away from chemical intervention, Vincent’s rigorous organic farming focuses heavily on deep soil plowing to extract unparalleled limestone tension from the vineyard bedrock. What makes this family estate so unique is Vincent's masterful inclusion of unlined concrete eggs for the final phase of aging, a brilliant technique that locks in vibrant primary energy while allowing the wines to build a seamless texture. Sourced from estate-owned plots, allocations of this pristine 2023 collection are microscopic and highly sought after by collectors.
Widely referred to as Meursault's "eternal Grand Cru in waiting," Perrières sits on an ancient, abandoned stone quarry where old vines must dig their roots directly into solid, hard limestone. Vincent’s parcel sits in the prized upper portion (Perrières-Dessus), boasting 60+ year-old vines that struggle through nearly non-existent topsoil to yield grapes of astounding concentration. The wine is incredibly deep and powerful, showing an exquisite hint of sweet cream butter, dried white flowers, and an extraordinary, smoky, flint-like mineral core.
