Note di degustazione
Boillot is a name now considered as equal to (or even above) the likes of Leflaive, Ramonet and Coche-Dury. Despite this, Boillot’s wines remain extremely well priced. Consistently exceptional quality has always been the name of the game at Boillot – combine this with very reasonable pricing and it’s a domaine that’s justifiably extremely popular. The property’s Corton-Charlemagne is one of our favourite cuvées, and a wine that has become one of its superstar wines, selling out quickly.

The 2018 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru was completely corked. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 white tasting.
A ripe, cool and equally restrained nose offers up notes of green apple, floral, an array of citrus and, like the Chevalier, plenty of mineral reduction. There is excellent power and volume to the delicious yet entirely serious broad-shouldered flavors that possess both terrific cut and minerality, all wrapped in a clean, dry and youthfully austere finale. This isn't quite as dense or powerful as the Montrachet but even so, there is much to admire and note well that this too should age exceptionally well.
The 2018 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru has a gentle bouquet that unfurls in the glass, revealing orange pith, quince and light walnut aromas. The palate is well balanced with a sappy opening, a fine bead of acidity with a cohesive, ginger tinged finish that lingers in the mouth. Very fine it conveys a sense of completeness that is missing in some other examples from this Grand Cru site.

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.
