2018 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru “Les Cherbaudes”
Domaine Boillot

Pierre Boillot holds firmly to traditional practices and refrains from many modern winemaking techniques to produce a wine of substantial soul. Like an analog waveform etched into vinyl, this wine is the truest expression of its terroir. With vibrant fruit and a silky finish, it’s sure to age gracefully while gaining vintage soul in the years to come.

Treated with the same care as the domaine’s premiers crus, and will certainly age like one.

Violets and roses on the nose, and ample volume on the palate, with a Morello cherry freshness.

The vintage, austere and tense in its youth, has matured into the best a perfectly aged Meursault can offer.

2020 Meursault-Blagny 1er Cru “La Genelotte”

De Chérisey produces classic Chardonnay that seems as if from a different time. White Burgundy like this doesn’t come around very often.

Domaine Lucien Boillot et Fils
France | Burgundy
This Caillerets features a stony, savory undercurrent, above which float gorgeous notes of strawberries and plums.

Old-vine Pinot Noir blended from several sites across Gevrey-Chambertin provides a textbook rendition of this village.

2021 Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Beaune

Lots of herbs and lemon curd precede its dry, racy finish. It’s a mouthwatering, drink-me-now white Burgundy.

2020 Volnay
Domaine Lucien Boillot et Fils
France | Burgundy
Boillot’s Volnay is both elegant and exuberant, defined by notes of succulent, impeccably ripe red fruit and blood orange.

About The Region
Burgundy
In eastern central France, Burgundy is nestled between the wine regions of Champagne to the north, the Jura to the east, the Loire to the west, and the Rhône to the south. This is the terroir par excellence for producing world-class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
The southeast-facing hillside between Dijon in the north and Maranges in the south is known as the Côte d’Or or “golden slope.” The Côte d’Or comprises two main sections, both composed of limestone and clay soils: the Côte de Nuits in the northern sector, and the Côte de Beaune in the south. Both areas produce magnificent whites and reds, although the Côte de Beaune produces more white wine and the Côte de Nuits more red.
Chablis is Burgundy’s northern outpost, known for its flinty and age-worthy Chardonnays planted in Kimmeridgian limestone on an ancient seabed. Vézelay is a smaller area south of Chablis with similar qualities, although the limestone there is not Kimmeridgian.
To the south of the Côte de Beaune, the Côte Chalonnaise extends from Chagny on its northern end, down past Chalon-sur-Saône and encompasses the appellations of Bouzeron in the north, followed by Rully, Mercurey, Givry, and Montagny.
Directly south of the Chalonnaise begins the Côte Mâconnais, which extends south past Mâcon to the hamlets of Fuissé, Vinzelles, Chaintré, and Saint-Véran. The Mâconnais is prime Chardonnay country and contains an incredible diversity of soils.

Let the brett nerds retire into protective bubbles, and whenever they thirst for wine it can be passed in to them through a sterile filter. Those of us on the outside can continue to enjoy complex, natural, living wines.
