2006 VOLNAY 1er Cru Chevrets Domaine Henri Boillot

2006 VOLNAY 1er Cru Chevrets Domaine Henri Boillot

Grapes: Pinot Noir  Origin: France, Burgundy
Lea & Sandeman review
Rich, a good balance of all the virtues of Volnay with an extra plumpness. Pleasingly round plummy fruit, fine sweet-tasting tannins.

Other reviews and comments
Good deep red. Ripe black cherry and smoke on the nose. A step up in sweetness and lushness, with lovely purity and impressive concentration to the flavors of black cherry, dark raspberry and smoke. This is downright silky for the year. Finishes very long and broad, with fine tannins and impressive aromatic persistence. This two-hectare holding produced the "best-looking grapes" in 2006, noted Boillot, who said that little sorting was required here. But due to millerandage, he'll have just 20 barrels in 2006, vs. a normal 40 or 42. For years, this has been one of my go-to wines in restaurants in Burgundy.   89-92/100

Again a little reticient on the nose at this stage in its life. The fruit is darker and top notes of anise and liquorice come through on the nose and palate. The texture of the wine is silky and the tannins are finely layered with the acidity. Partciularly good. From 2011.
Sarah Marsh MW, The Burgundy Briefing
Beautifully fragrant Pinot Noir: slightly floral with sweet cherries and raspberries; concentrated red-berry sweetness on the palate; quite mouthfilling and supple, but still showing some youthful tannin and acidity. Long. Drink over the next five years (April 2009)   92/100
