Visiting Boyer-Martenot back in March had a prophetic feel to it. As we tasted through a startlingly good lineup of 2016 Meursaults, it was clear we were in the presence of a star—a producer who, ten years from now, we can proudly say “we knew when.” Vincent Boyer and his sister, Sylvie, represent the fourth generation to run their family’s small domaine in Meursault.

Most of their production is Meursault. They are entrenched in this village, which, inexplicably, has no Grand Crus—but in all of Meursault’s best Premier Crus, you’ll find the Boyers with their hands in the dirt, as well as in a host of other choice sites such as “Les Chaumes.” Sitting at one of the highest elevations in the village, at the edge of the forest line and directly upslope from the celebrated Premier Cru “Perrières,” Les Chaumes is one of several ‘village’-designated lieu-dits that Vincent Boyer bottles as a single-vineyard wine. As powerful as the name ‘Meursault” is on its own, Boyer believes—rightly—that sites like Les Chaumes deserve better than to be anonymously blended. This wine shines as brightly as its Premier Cru neighbors, with Meursault’s inimitable combination of profound minerality and rich, creamy texture. And there’s a precision to this wine—to all of Boyer’s wines—that speaks to this family’s ability to walk every vineyard, touch every vine, and hand-craft every lot in the most authoritative way. The 2016 Les Chaumes is sneakily seductive right now, but I want some of this in my cellar. You should, too, and we secured enough to share six bottles per customer today.
