The 2017 vintage in Burgundy was generally very good, with a welcome return to more generous volumes after several challenging years. For white wines, 2017 is considered a consistent and delicious vintage, sharing qualities with 2014 but being more interesting and consistent than 2007 or 2011. The grapes were exceptionally healthy and free from rot, with optimum ripeness and no sense of dilution. The Henri Boillot Meursault 1er Cru Les Poruzots from 2017 is a prime example of a high-quality white Burgundy from this favourable year. 【Outstanding quality Meursault from a top-notch producer】, this wine is still young but shows great structure and backbone, promising further development with age. Tasting notes reveal a lovely nose of white flowers, orchard fruits, peach, and lemon, with hints of matchstick, flint, and a slight papaya note. The palate is saturating yet light, with great acidity providing a backbone to the intense, almost sweet fruit. Expect notes of yellow apple, pear, minerals, butter, oak, and caramel, with a pinch of seductive spice and a long, mouth-watering finish. Food Pairing: This elegant Meursault is a superb match for rich fish like salmon or tuna, shellfish, and poultry. It also pairs wonderfully with pasta dishes and mild, soft cheeses. For an Eastern twist, consider steamed fish with ginger and spring onion, or delicate dim sum. Event Suggestion: An excellent choice for a special anniversary dinner, a sophisticated business lunch, or a celebratory gathering where fine white Burgundy is appreciated. It's also a delightful wine to enjoy with friends on a warm evening.
