2008 Domaine Bouard-Bonnefoy Chassagne-Montrachet Les Chenevottes 1er Cru

Every wine has a story, but Fabrice Bouard's is somewhat more interesting than most. Retired at age 35 after working as the French equivalent of the Secret Service, he now crafts artisan Burgundy from 10 acres of some of the top vineyards of Chassagne-Montrachet. Everything is "old school," from his ancient, vertical press to his serious, respectful treatment of the vineyards and grapes. All the wines are 1er crus and show superb concentration in a subtly layered style.
