Henri Boillot Meursault 1er Cru Les Gouttes d'Or 2020 [NET]
Henri Boillot's interpretation of Meursault's Gouttes d'Or—the Premier Cru named for golden flint stones in its stony, chalky, limestone-fragmented soil. Approximately 25% new oak and a slightly reductive approach preserve bright, lemony freshness while allowing the traditional Meursault richness (hazelnut, butter) to develop on the finish. The 2020 vintage's crystalline freshness and minerality make this an excellent expression of the site. Drink now or cellar through 2040.
