Description
The *2002 Domaine Jean-Marc Boillot Meursault* is a refined and beautifully matured example of white Burgundy from one of the Côte de Beaune’s most prestigious villages. Crafted from 100% Chardonnay grown in Meursault’s limestone-rich soils, this wine reflects Boillot’s hallmark precision, combining richness with tension and aromatic purity. The 2002 vintage is widely recognised as one of the finest of the early 2000s in Burgundy, producing wines of exceptional balance, freshness, and ageing potential—qualities that now shine after more than two decades in bottle.
In the glass, it would show a deep golden hue, a visual sign of maturity. The bouquet is complex and evolving, offering aromas of ripe orchard fruit, honeyed pear, and baked apple alongside layers of almond, hazelnut, and subtle brioche. Nuances of white flowers, wet stone, and gentle spice add further elegance, with a touch of buttered toast hinting at its time in fine French oak.
On the palate, the *2002 Meursault* is full-bodied yet impeccably balanced, with a creamy texture lifted by fresh acidity. Flavours of poached pear, citrus zest, and golden apple are intertwined with notes of toasted nuts, vanilla, and a mineral backbone that gives structure and finesse. The finish is long, elegant, and mouthwatering, leaving lingering impressions of citrus, nut, and chalky minerality.
This *2002 Domaine Jean-Marc Boillot Meursault* is a superb expression of aged white Burgundy, ideal for those who appreciate the complexity and depth that only time can bring. Perfect for pairing with fine seafood, roast poultry, or creamy mushroom dishes, it is also a collector’s gem from a top producer in a truly exceptional vintage.
