Henri Boillot Chevalier Montrachet Grand Cru 2016
(Boillot noted that Chevalier was the only grand cru that didn’t freeze in 2016). Like several wines in the range there is a subtle whiff of the exotic in the form of mandarin orange to the acacia blossom, green fruit and mineral reduction-suffused aromas. The dense, serious and powerful broad-shouldered flavors flash plenty of minerality on the chiseled, even crystalline finish that delivers huge length. This tautly muscular effort is seriously good though patience will of course be necessary. 96/2028+ .
96 point – Burghound
*Don’t miss!* Radiant white flower, citrus and limestone aromas are framed by a dollop of oak spice and lead to a refined, elegant, understated flavors combining intense minerality and marvelous detail plus remarkable depth and complexity. This is edgier and brighter than the Bâtard and just oozes class and refinement as it’s constructed along the classic Chevalier lines of silk, lace and an intense stoniness rather than power and richness. A brilliant effort.
