Pierre Boillot is a master of terroir-driven red Burgundy. With old vines, a focus on the vineyards and minimal manipulation in the cellar, his wines express the purity and elegance we all seek out in Burgundian Pinot Noir.
It is classy, classic Puligny—fine, linear, and precise, with a zesty, almost saline edge.
The Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Charmes comes from an east-facing one hectare block of 43 year old vines at 270 meters altitude.
Medium ruby in colour, this has a spicy nose which bursts with fruits of the forest. It displays impressive concentration and a firm, but relatively elegant, layered structure that is well wrapped in juicy, succulent red and black berry fruit.
Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru La Boudriotte from Bruno Colin has an intense nose of white fruit, honey and butter. On the palate, the wine is powerful, firm and full of flavour with a perfectly executed mineral finish. This top-class white wine can be aged for several years before drinking.
"A well-layered nose grudgingly reveals its aromas of both white and yellow orchard fruit, ample citrus and soft spice nuances that are framed but subtle but not invisible wood influence. Like the Blanchot there is excellent size, weight and muscle to the overtly powerful flavors that possess impressive depth and persistence on the sappy, balanced and harmonious finish. This is really very good and should age accordingly." - Allen Meadows, Burghound
The lieux-dit, Chambertin is charged with prestige. Perhaps one of Burgundy's most aristocratic appellations and greatest terroir. The domaine purchased its parcel in 1919 and the goal has been always to show off the underlying terroir, creating soil-driven and absolutely pure wines harkening to an earlier era. There is an emphasis on pure red plum and black cherry fruit, notes of grilled meat, cocoa powder, lovely soil tones surrounded by a judicious framing of oak tannins.
The generic Santenay is made from old vines – 50 years of average age – is a good start. It’s quite forward – 70% whole cluster – with a lovely organic fruit spiced with cinnamon and allspice. On the palate rich and velvet with a lavish feel for a wine at this level.
