The Meursault, while very good to excellent, is not as interesting as the other offerings. Toasted hazelnut aromas are followed by a well-focused, medium-bodied, and appealing tangy lemon and nut-filled flavor profile. It should be consumed before 2002. Henri Boillot, the brother of Jean-Marc Boillot and brother-in-law of Gerard Boudot (of Maison Etienne Sauzet fame) is responsible for the family estate (Domaine Jean Boillot) that bears his father's name, as well as for a small negociant business he has recently created. To assist readers in differentiating the two, I have placed an asterisk (*) beside the negociant bottlings.
