2019 Bourgogne Blanc

Tasting notes
In 2019, the wine is singing – precise yet powerful, with amazing vibrancy. This wine punches well above its weight. Tight and taut at the moment, a note of gunflint reduction blows off with time in the glass to reveal more delicate white florals. A chalky, mineral line runs through the wine, with a lime zest freshness. The palate is concentrated with an intense core of lemon sherbet freshness; with waves of citrus fruit and vibrant acidity that drives to a long finish with a saline twist. There’s an amazing clarity here – Chardonnay in high definition. Poised yet powerful, this is a beautiful Bourgogne Chardonnay only set to offer more with time in bottle.

This year incorporating fruit from Saint-Romain and Monthélie, the 2019 Bourgogne Blanc exhibits aromas of pear, toasted bread and white flowers. Medium-bodied, racy and precise, with a nicely concentrated core of fruit and chalky back-end grip, it's a fine rendition of the appellation and represents a fine value.
About the producer
Based in Meursault and farming some of the finest vineyards in the Côte de Beaune, Henri Boillot is a leading address in Burgundy. He crafts fine Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, but the estate is best known for its flagship monopole vineyard, Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru Clos de la Mouchère.
