Pierre Boisson Mâcon-Villages Au Poirier Chanin 2021 – White Burgundy
A Pure Expression of Southern Burgundy Elegance
From the renowned hills of Burgundy’s Mâconnais, this expressive white wine reflects both the precision of a great Burgundian and the unique personality of its terroir. Crafted by Pierre Boisson, a young winemaker carrying forward his family’s winemaking legacy from Meursault, this cuvée showcases meticulous vineyard care and thoughtful vinification rooted in tradition.
Why This Wine Matters
100% Chardonnay grown on clay-limestone soils gives this wine both clarity and depth. Fermented in oak barrels with natural yeasts, it balances freshness, texture, and minerality — all hallmarks of refined Mâcon-Villages.
Tasting Notes
Appearance: Pale golden hue with brilliant clarity.
Nose: Delicate and refined, with aromas of ripe pear, candied lemon, and white flowers, accented by subtle mineral notes.
Palate: Silky and balanced, with a round texture and lively acidity. The finish is persistent, revealing hints of hazelnut and limestone, creating a wine that is both elegant and expressive.
Food Pairing & Serving
This wine is wonderfully versatile: enjoy it with shellfish, grilled fish, sautéed prawns, soft cheeses, or poultry in light sauces. Serve chilled (approx. 10-12 °C) to highlight its freshness and aromatic precision.
The Story Behind the Bottle
Pierre Boisson comes from a historic winemaking family in Meursault, where careful vineyard work and respect for terroir define the house style. With Au Poirier Chanin, Pierre brings that same Burgundian finesse to the Mâcon-Villages appellation, combining purity and tension in a wine that captures both freshness and Burgundian identity.
The Experience
A refined and luminous white Burgundy that seduces with its balance of fruit, acidity, and mineral depth — perfect for those seeking an expressive yet versatile Chardonnay that delivers both approachability and terroir-driven character.
