The Boillot 2006 Pommard Les Fremiers smells of dried pit fruits, resin, citrus zest, tobacco, and brown spices. Sappy and well-concentrated – with low-toned stoniness and suggestions of roasted red meats adding to the counterparts of the aforementioned aromas – this really stains the palate and finishes with a fruit cake-like sense of density and spice, yet without seeming heavy. It should prove delightful for at least 6-8 years. Pierre Boillot (grandson of Lucien) vinified and marketed together until 2003 with his slightly older brother Louis (who now shares facilities with his wife Ghislaine Barthod, and most of the same appellations as Pierre, and on whose outstanding wines I reported in issue 170 and again in this issue). They then separated their shares of inheritance, which include equally prime acreage in both Cotes, thanks to Lucien having long ago left his family's Volnay estate (now Domaine Henri Boillot) to stake his own claim in Gevrey. My first visit to taste here convinced me that this address and Pierre Boillot's talent should be known to all Burgundy lovers. Pierre Boillot lays great store by lees enrichment, never bottling before the second spring, and then without filtration.Importer: Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley, CA; tel. (510) 524-1524
