Vinous (91)The 2015 Volnay Les Santenots-du-Milieu 1er Cru has a clenched fist of a nose; the aromas are there, but it is almost as if this Volnay wants to keep the aromatics for itself instead of bestowing them upon the imbiber. Perhaps the best adjective is “selfish.” The palate is very well balanced with fine tannin and well-judged acidity that lends tension and energy, but remains very linear and strict in style. This is a Volnay that clearly refuses to come out and play at such a young age, and yet I suspect that it will mature into a very fine specimen with bottle age. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting. |

Vinous (95)The 2016 Mazoyères-Chambertin Grand Cru is the darkest of four wines tasted from this vineyard. It has a very seductive bouquet with pure dark cherry and plummy fruit, some high quality new oak that is neatly enmeshed. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe tannins, well-judged acidity, perhaps more modern in style than its peers, but you cannot deny the precision, the delineation and mineralité in the finish. Great persistence here, a Mazoyères with pedigree. Tasted blind at the 2016 Burgfest tasting. |

Burghound (93-95)(from a 2.67 ha parcel situated entirely in terres rouges soil in the far southern portion of the vineyard). A riper and more restrained nose requires some swirling to reveal its aromas of plum liqueur, blue berry, earth and a more restricted range of spice elements. The bigger and richer flavors possess an opulent richness and a velvety texture that coats the palate and enrobes the firmer tannic spine shaping the powerful, tautly muscular and strikingly persistent finale. This offers a completely different expression compared to the Amoureuses but one that is equally interesting. This too possesses superb development potential though patience definitely advised.

Deep in the rich, hallowed soils of Gevrey-Chambertin, the Lucien Boillot Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Perriere 2012 is born. Crafted by noted producer Lucien Boillot, a revered master in Burgundian winemaking, this remarkable Pinot Noir boasts an unparalleled depth of character. Within its intense, ruby-hued depths, voluptuous blackberry, raspberry and earthy notes unfurl, graced with an elegant undercurrent of cool minerality indicative of its acclaimed 'Perriere' terroir. Traditional, artisanal winemaking practices illuminate the wine's rich, varietal fruit, with hand-picked grapes and maturation in French oak lending a complex, lingering finish. Reflecting Boillot's meticulous skill, each vintage is made in limited quantity, enhancing its exclusivity. For a wine of extraordinary finesse and soul, the Lucien Boillot Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Perriere 2012 embodies the highest expressions of the Burgundy region. |
