(1x75cl) 2011Vinous (93)
Good bright red. Open-knit, inviting aromas of redcurrant, red cherry, leather and game. Big, round and rich, with a sexy decadent quality to the plump flavors of raspberry, spices and leather. Superripe wine with terrific creamy depth of fruit shaped by harmonious acidity. Finishes round and long but not heavy, with sweet tannins. Really transcends the vintage.Inc. TAX€109.14 -
Vinous (92-95)
(aging in 33% new oak; these vines just under Mazis-Chambertin are now 104 years old, according to Boillot): Bright ruby-red. Very ripe but youthfully brooding aromas of black cherry, licorice, menthol and stone. Then surprisingly fat, pliant and sweet in the mouth, with its dark cherry and black raspberry fruit displaying outstanding creamy depth and volume. Wonderfully rich, seamless and relaxed, finishing with utterly suave tannins and terrific length, if not yet quite the complexity of the Champonnets. But that will come with time. This wine struck me as more relaxed than Boillot's 2016s from frost-affected vines on the Côte de Beaune. A splendid Gevrey premier cru in the making.Inc. TAX€1,137.34 -
Vinous (92-94)
(from 45-year-old vines; 25% new oak): Deep ruby-red. Slightly reduced aromas of currant, iron, dried flowers and dark chocolate. Moderately thick but juicy and fine-grained, with medicinal cherry and menthol flavors complemented by a saline quality. Offers a captivating blend of subtle sweetness, pliancy and energy. Finishes quite suave, with terrific rising length. Much more about finesse than power. Boillot told me that his holding in Champonnets is virtually split into two halves, the higher one on rocky, mineral soil and the lower one on red clay.

Aeration brought an enticing touch of sweetness and some old-vines creaminess. This serious village wine finishes with ripe, dusty tannins and good subtle persistence.Inc. TAX€1,241.47 -

(exclusively from old vines of an indeterminate age located in 8 different lieux-dits, the largest of which is Le Fourneau). An expressive, cool and nuanced nose freely offers up its aromas of wild red currant, cherry and just enough earth influence to be persuasive that this is from Gevrey. The exceptionally supple, indeed even almost easy-going, flavors aren’t particularly dense but they are refreshing and vibrant before tightening up on the youthfully austere, dusty and fairly firm but not hard finish. This could use better depth so a few years of forbearance should be helpful.Expected Price Range€286 - €343 -
