Boillot’s 2008 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Cherbaudes presents a gorgeous image of the vintage. A beautifully expressive, well delineated bouquet redolent of sweet herbs, spices, flowers and dark fruit wafts from the glass. The wine is at times weightless, while at others it comes across as more powerful. A focused, energetic finish rounds things out in style. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2033. Louis Boillot remarked that he and his wife Ghislaine Barthod were the first to harvest in 2009, but the last in 2008. In 2009 Boillot was concerned with losing the singular expression of site, hence his decision to pick on the early side. The 2009s were made from 100% destemmed fruit, as is the custom here. New oak reached a maximum of 25-30%. Boillot is among the growers who prefers the 2008s to the 2009s, which he describes as more faithful and transparent to site.Importer: Rosenthal Wine Merchant, Pine Plains, NY; tel. (800) 910-1990
