Domaine Louis Boillot Cotes de Nuits-Villages, Burgundy, France

點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：2600

Juicy abundance of ripe cherry and strawberry fruit wreathed in wood smoke characterize Boillot's 2006 Cotes De Nuits-Villages, which originates in a site in Brochon adjacent to Fixin's Clos du Chapitre. This is lithe but with a definite sense of underlying extract and stoniness, and finishes with refreshment, invigorating tartness, and energy, evincing none of the toughness or astringency that so often accrue to Pinots from Fixin. I would plan to enjoy it over the next 3-4 years. Louis Boillot fields a diverse array of appellations reflecting in large part his Volnaysien grandfather's having become established in Gevrey. (For more about this family, see my report on Louis's brother Pierre in this issue. Like the wines of his wife Ghislaine Barthod – with whom he shares a facility in Chambolle – most of Louis Boillot's 2006s had not yet been bottled when I last tasted them.)Importer: Rosenthal Wine Merchant, Pine Plains, NY; tel.
