Note di degustazione
Boillot's 2012 Montrachet is surprisingly mid-weight and restrained in this vintage. The aromas and flavors are also on the bright, floral side of the spectrum. Overall, this is a fairly delicate, feminine Montrachet with good length and polish, but less of the exuberance I associate with Boillot's Montrachet.

There is just enough reduction to knock down the nose though I doubt that it will last for more than a few months as the underlying fruit seems quite ripe. The impressively rich and overtly powerful and full-bodied flavors brim with an abundance of dry extract that confers a wonderfully textured, indeed almost chewy mouth feel onto the palate coating and almost bone dry finish; indeed this is exceptionally dry in the context of the vintage. In a vintage where relatively few truly knockout whites were made, this is one of them. Tasted: Jun 15, 2014. Drink: 2022+
