2022, Maison Henri Boillot, CHAMBERTIN, Grand Cru

A fair depth of crimson. Here the fruit is clearly the victor on the nose. It remains attractively discreet though with persistence. Some darker strawberries in the mix. A little vanilla washes through at the finish. *** 94-96 Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy.

A restrained, pure and airy nose combines notes of almost as spicy aromas of rose petal, black cherry and exotic tea. There is terrific punch to the intensely mineral-suffused and precise, if not especially dense, flavours that display stunningly good length on the bitter pit fruit-suffused finale. This markedly powerful and youthfully austere effort is class in a glass. Don't miss! 95 Burghound.
