Tasting notes
Readers in search of a delicious affordable white should check out Jean-Marc Boillot’s fabulous 2010 Montagny. Flowers, pears, flint and crushed rocks are some of the many notes that flow from this gracious, beautifully delineated white. A pure, crystalline finish rounds things out. This is a great showing from Boillot. Anticipated maturity: 2012+. This is an impressive set of wines from Jean-Marc Boillot. The 2010s are very clearly marked by their terroirs, a departure from vintages such as 2009 and 2011, where the wines are less vivid. Boillot began harvesting on September 19th. Natural alcohols came in around 12.8%-13.2%, pretty much the same as in 2011. Importer: Vineyard Brands, Birmingham, AL; tel. (205) 980-8802

More obviously oaky on the nose. That mealy texture and flavour with a light note of citrus that is so burgundian. Really tangy on the palate and a light chalky grip increasing the length. (JH)
