The combination of creaminess and refreshment of which its vintage is capable are no doubt reinforced in Boyer’s 2007 Meursault Charmes by the effect of its marrying both very high elevation, stony and low, chalk-rich sections of this cru. Also in typical vintage fashion, it is juicy and generously satisfying through and through, with toasted nuts, spice, and vanilla accenting fresh citrus in a refreshing and persistent if not terribly complex finish. I would plan to enjoy this over the next 4-5 years.
Vincent Boyer’s 2007s – all of which were bottled by the following September, and weigh in at 12.5-13% alcohol – display a diversity of personalities, but share a sense of transparency to nuance, and a consistency of quality not equaled by his 2006s.
