Tasting notes
The 2017 Chambertin Grand Cru is much more reticent on the nose than Boillot’s other Grand Crus, to the extent that it is difficult coaxing much fruit from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with toasty tannin, quite sweet on the entry with candied orange peel, hints of brown sugar and pain d’épices towards the finish that does possess an impressively long aftertaste.

There are two barrels of the 2017 Chambertin Grand Cru, a wine that's more focused and tensile than the Clos de Bèze, offering up aromas of sweet cassis, red berries, baking chocolate, soil and espresso, framed by a touch of cedary new oak. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, bright and precise, with a pretty core of fruit and a mineral finish.
About the producer
Based in Meursault and farming some of the finest vineyards in the Côte de Beaune, Henri Boillot is a leading address in Burgundy. He crafts fine Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, but the estate is best known for its flagship monopole vineyard, Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru Clos de la Mouchère.
