The 2005 Gevrey-Chambertin Champonnet displays much more refinement and restraint than the Evocelles with a soft, enveloping, incipiently creamy palate loaded with ripe, gently-cooked black cherry and hints of caramel, vanilla and coconut from the barrel. The finish lingers with ingratiating sweetness if not much complexity.Also recommended: 2005 Fixin (unknown; 85-87). Having moved from Volnay to a newly-expanded facility he shares with his wife, Ghislaine Barthod, Louis Boillot fields a large and geographically diverse range of generally impressive, pure-fruited Pinots. (In rating them, I have left some leeway to allow for my previous unfamiliarity with Louis Boillot’s wines.)Importer: Rosenthal Wine Merchant, Pine Plains, NY; tel. (800) 910-1990.
