DOMAINE MARC-ANTONIN BLAIN, Chassagne-Montrachet
Dom Marc-Antonin Blain 2016 Chassagne-Montrachet
Cask sample. Ripe raspberry and redcurrant fruit with loads of primary charm. Light but not mean, with a tasty marzipan aroma on the finish. (RH)
Dom Marc-Antonin Blain, Morgeot Premier Cru 2016 Chassagne-Montrachet
Cask sample. Equally light as their villages Chassagne, but no lack of flavour. Even so, the premium for premier cru seems a little steep in this instance. Good, but not significantly better. Perhaps time will change that. (RH)
DOMAINE BLAIN-GAGNARD, Chassagne-Montrachet
RH: Consistent and classic, with signs of better things to come with bottle age.
Dom Blain-Gagnard 2016 Chassagne-Montrachet
Crunchy green apple fruit with some dairy and cream aromas on the palate. Earthy and herbal on the palate – lots of flavour on offer. (RH)
Dom Blain-Gagnard 2016 Puligny-Montrachet
Crisp and delineated with spicy notes on the palate and tighter structural bite that their Chassagne, as you might expect. Long and zingy to finish. (RH)
Dom Blain-Gagnard, La Boudriotte Premier Cru 2016 Chassagne-Montrachet
Seems a bit musty and earthy – not in as good condition as their village wines at this tasting. Seems to have a flat, almost mouldy sort of tone to it. Faulty sample? (RH)
Dom Blain-Gagnard 2016 Chassagne-Montrachet
Delicate but with loads of floral scent giving interest to the palate, and light tannic fur on the finish. Has the gentility of burgundy, as well as the aromatic complexity. (RH)
Dom Blain-Gagnard, Premier Cru 2016 Chassagne-Montrachet
Cask sample. More concentration than the village wine and more tannic grip too. Not sure the flavour is much more complex though – time will tell. (RH)
DOMAINE HENRI BOILLOT, Meursault
RH: Stylish, vivid and memorable. Not cheap, but you can taste where the money goes (in a good way).
Dom Henri Boillot 2016 Puligny-Montrachet
Flint and matchstick aromas, vivid green fruit with fearsome concentration on the palate. Over-delivers for this combination of producer, appellation and vintage – but isn't cheap! (RH)
Dom Henri Boillot, Clos de la Mouchère Premier Cru 2016 Puligny-Montrachet
Saline, refreshing and citric with a sharper, more vivid palate than their village Puligny, but not much more complexity. Better length and pith, however, so this is promising for the future. (RH)
Dom Henri Boillot, Genevrières Premier Cru 2016 Meursault
Suitably broad and ripe in style, but more lean and precise than the buttery Meursaults of old. Tense, vivid, flavoursome. (RH)
Dom Henri Boillot, Grand Cru 2016 Corton-Charlemagne
Slaty and nutty on the nose, with highly intense cooked apple fruit and very punchy acidity. Potent and powerful, and has the gutsiness to age over a long period. (RH)
Dom Henri Boillot, Frémiets Premier Cru 2016 Volnay
Smoked, toasted oak aromas on the nose with incredible concentration and intensity. Gunflint on the palate, and rich, indulgent bramble fruit. Very stylish and bold, but requires high oak tolerance to enjoy it in its early days. (RH)
Dom Henri Boillot, En Chevret Premier Cru 2016 Volnay
Distinctive aromas of coffee grounds on the nose, from heavy oak influence. Aromatic smoky quality to the palate and a long, fragrant persistence on the finish. Less fruit power to match the oak than their Frémiets, it seems. (RH)
DOMAINE JEAN-MARC BOILLOT, Pommard
JR: These rich whites were as hedonistic as usual.
Dom Jean-Marc Boillot 2016 Puligny-Montrachet
Bottled. Stony and subtle on the nose but not lacking fruit. Dry and tangy with mandarin and mandarin pith giving both freshness and texture. Bone dry and really tangy. Long for a village wine. (JH)
Dom Jean-Marc Boillot 2016 Puligny-Montrachet
Racy and smoky on the nose with masses of ripe, lime fruit on the mid palate. Long and relatively rich. Maybe not that long lived but great delivery.
Dom Jean-Marc Boillot, La Garenne Premier Cru 2016 Puligny-Montrachet
A little herbal and off dry without the nerve of some.
Dom Jean-Marc Boillot, Les Referts Premier Cru 2016 Puligny-Montrachet
Bottled. Has the stony minerality of the village wine but also a more evident creamy, oatmeal richness. Excellent balance between sour-citrus precise freshness and a depth of fruit that gives a long, clean finish. Power and precision. (JH)
Dom Jean-Marc Boillot, Les Referts Premier Cru 2016 Puligny-Montrachet
Real nerve, depth and excitement with some liquorice notes. Slightly astringent finish for the moment.
Dom Jean-Marc Boillot, Champ Canet Premier Cru 2016 Puligny-Montrachet
Bottled. So inviting, with that leesy richness combined with tangy spiced citrus of lemon and mandarin. On the palate it is quite full but seems a little flatter on the finish than the Referts. (JH)
Dom Jean-Marc Boillot, Champ Canet Premier Cru 2016 Puligny-Montrachet
Light nose but great depth of fruit and admirable structure. Rather fiery on the end. Very satisfying.
Dom Jean-Marc Boillot, Les Combettes Premier Cru 2016 Puligny-Montrachet
Cool and lively and sleek with lemon-cream character and lots of potential.
DOMAINE LOUIS BOILLOT and LOUIS BOILLOT, Chambolle-Musigny
JR: Louis has joined the ranks of those who are venturing south to...
