2023 Chambolle Musigny Louis Boillot
£276.00 In Bond-
GWL, December 2024
This cuvée contains fruit from three separate parcels of vines within Chambolle and expresses all the charm and finesse of the village. The fragrant and inviting nose delivers bright notes of red cherries, sun-warmed raspberries and a hint of cherry stone bitterness. A rounded, supple core of ripe, red-toned fruit is enlivened by a line of fresh, blood orange acidity and shaped by fine-grained tannins that bring a very slight chalkiness to the finish. The overall impression is one of carefully judged balance and finesse.
2023 Gevrey Chambertin Les Evocelles Louis Boillot
£312.00 In Bond-
GWL, December 2024
The steep, stony vineyard of Les Evocelles is located at the very north-western edge of Gevrey, at an altitude of between 320-380m above sea level, resulting in a cooler microclimate. The plots of vines owned by the domaine are at the very top of the hill, where limestone dominates the subsoils. The 2023 is a delightfully expressive wine with ripe notes of Morello cherry, raspberry coulis, bitter almond and a hint of white pepper spice. Plush fruit sits around lively, mineral-driven acidity, which delivers a covert touch of salinity to the wine’s core. Fine, sleek tannins encase the whole, leading to a moreish, elegant finish.
2023 Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Les Champonnets Louis Boillot
£204.00 In Bond-
GWL, December 2024
As a Premier Cru, Les Champonnets enjoys an enviable position, sitting between Gevrey’s Grands Crus and the lower slopes of Combe St Jacques. Boillot’s vines here are north facing and enjoy the cool breeze that flows down from the nearby valley. As such, this cuvée always exhibits a vibrant freshness and the 2023 is no exception. Showing bright notes of redcurrant and pomegranate, the nose is given further depth by a savoury whisp of white pepper. Ripe, succulent fruit is enlivened by sprightly, mouth-watering acidity whilst silken, yet structured tannins provide shape and poise. Finishing with a lift of pepper spice, this is a highly attractive wine that speaks of its place.
2023 Gevrey Chambertin Louis Boillot
£240.00 In Bond-
GWL, December 2024
Made with the fruit from eight different parcels across the village of Gevrey, this cuvée benefits from a multitude of individual terroirs and as such provides a great snapshot of the village style. A charming nose of pretty redcurrant and red cherry fruit is given further depth by a delicate hint of violet and a twist of white pepper. The ripe, plush core of sweet summer berry fruit is sustained by a vibrant thread of acidity that brings energy and tension to the palate. Soft, silky tannins provide a deceptively gentle structure; there is a density here that will support time in bottle.
