Tasting Notes
Expect Boillot's Bourgogne Rouge to show notes of sweet berry fruit plus spices, dark chocolate and rose petals. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and concentrated, it's a vibrant, serious wine that will reward a bit of bottle age. Extracts from notes of William Kelley.
Louis Boillot once of Gevrey now of Chambolle, combines his talents with wife Ghislaine Barthod. Their wine making and cellar are fastidious; the wines are pure, ethereal and grow in complexity and sensuality given cellar time. The vineyards are ploughed and farmed lutte raisonnée. At harvest there is a strict berry by berry selection and everything is de‐stemmed. Ferments commence naturally following a short cool pre‐fermentation maceration. The wines spend two winters in up to 30% new oak and are bottled without fining or filtration. All vines are 50 plus years with the splendid Cherbaudes celebrating its centenary in 2012. - Importer Note
