| Community Tasting Notes (average 93.4 pts. and median of 94 pts. in 77 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Hanibal on 4/19/2024 flawed bottle: corked (802 views) | | | Tasted by soyhead on 4/19/2024: from half bottle. darker than i might expect and while not bad, its more advanced than it should be. has a honeyed richness with a hint of butter solids, and still decent acidity to keep it interesting, but it drank best fridge temp as opposed to cellar temp, which in the realm of white burgs tells you something, i think. have had some issues with '14 boillot as well, caveat emptor. (741 views) | | | Tasted by Philippe_C on 2/11/2024 & rated 98 points: WOW huge nose of toasted noisette grillee, citrus, mineral, accacia flower, matchstick… Huge tension, loads of citrus, huge mineral, lenght of 60sec, still so young!! (1250 views) | | | Tasted by Goodwine4ever on 1/29/2024 & rated 91 points: Hyper décevant le 2018...
Oui c'est typique bourgogne mais c'est loin d'etre un vin complet.
Ca manque un peu de tout, il ma fait penser à un Meursault village...
Déception. (1325 views) | | | Tasted by mjdixon on 12/26/2023 & rated 94 points: Beautiful expression of this area. Drank opposite a '16 Drouhin Moouches which had slightly more weight.
One of those whites you have to sip and savour.
I decabted it and left to become just slighly chilled - improved grealty for this.
Plenty of citrus and butterly oak. (1284 views) | | | Tasted by csimm on 11/15/2023 & rated 96 points: Notable breadth and power, this is a broad shouldered ripe lemon and vanilla (thankfully not sweet) animal. For as beefy as this is, there is poise and focus. It is super yummy and hard to spit indeed. Just when I worry these wines can get a little too burly, they throttle back the intensity just in time and offer a nicely balanced profile of succulent fruit and nervy tension. Great acidity-to-fruit balance. Drinking great even now, though if you are vanilla adverse and are looking for the wood to integrate a bit more, try again in a few years. (2473 views) | | | Tasted by WineBurrowingWombat on 11/11/2023 & rated 96 points: Duck, duck, abortion!; 11/11/2023-11/17/2023: Awesome struck matchstick note, and aromas of fresh and golden green apples with fresh pears.
Bitter, green apples on the palate but also a good freshness to balance out the bitterness. Hay, gentle steeped tea and bitter minerals on the finish. Awesome ripeness to the fruits with good acidity that provides a good freshness to everything.
I've only ever tasted a few from HB, but it definitely seems like a producer I can rely on! (2079 views) | | | Tasted by csimm on 10/22/2023: I’ve written a decent amount on this wine, so as a matter of a check-in here, I’ll reaffirm that this is still a fairly brawny wine and will likely always be a less finessed example of P-M, instead drinking more like a broader swathed C-M or Meursault. Aeration is the key to softening its edges so it doesn’t present like a no-neck wrestler type. Yellow lemony fruit abounds, as does some vanilla, lime and orange zest, quince, and white travertine. Finishes a bit angular but certainly flavorful.
Pair with more formidable dishes (a baked and breaded Mexican chicken with spicy red salsa dish worked well) and treat almost as if it is a heftier white Rhone. Drink now with a decant or hold for another few years. (2669 views) | | | Tasted by VINNICK on 10/22/2023 & rated 93 points: Terrific wine. Has a funky note that blows off with time in the glass. (1364 views) | | | Tasted by ATBridge on 10/14/2023 flawed bottle: OXIDIZED (1320 views) | | | Tasted by DCHawkeye on 10/6/2023 & rated 93 points: Drink with appetizers at La Piquette, my favorite French bistro in D.C. - love, love, LOVE this producer and especially love this wine. Drinking beautifully now with no sign of oxidation. (1050 views) | | | Tasted by OenoEd on 9/3/2023 & rated 92 points: At 48 degrees, needs a half hour to warm and aerate. Buttered popcorn , vanilla bean, smoked oysters, crushed shells, wet leaves. The overt oak in the nose is mitigated somewhat by the chalky minerality and white pepper which provide some balance. Yet, the meyer lemon, yellow melon and pineapple fruits still seem like they’ve been stored in new oak tupperware: you cant get away from the wood., until this comes up to 57 or so. As it fully aerates, the oak influence fades to background, a fascinating evolution. This would have been 2-3 points higher with a bit more acid and a lot less wood. Served with buttery lobster rolls on brioche buns proved that a great pairing creates its own sweet balance. Serve this to Cali Chard fans, not to lovers of Chablis, Chevalier, and Sancerre. (1517 views) | | | Tasted by DCHawkeye on 7/23/2023 & rated 94 points: This has been consistently outstanding, and this bottle was no exception. Looking forward to seeing how my '19s and '20s compare with the '17s and '18s. (1579 views) | | | Tasted by Vas19 on 4/29/2023 & rated 91 points: From 375. A pretty serious bottle of white burg, great complexity but for me this is missing acid, and comes off a little too round and fat. (2140 views) | | | Tasted by KVM on 4/8/2023: This wine is a little reduced, then fragrant, plush, complex and so lovely. Fresh. (2138 views) | | | Tasted by DCHawkeye on 4/1/2023 & rated 94 points: Popped'n poured with dinner at La Piquette in D.C. I do think that the 2017 will overtake the '18 (as will the '19 and '20, though I've not yet got into my stash from those 2 vintages), this continues to drink beautifully. Very happy this is not Grand Cru price, but it's hard to imagine it not being Grand Cru quality. (1908 views) | | | Tasted by Stoic Warrior on 3/3/2023: (Lunch, JR & CC.) A profoundly assertive nose of roasted nuts, white fruits, warm spices and cool flowers. So complex for its young age. The palate extends all that and adds layers of intensely laced mouth filling flavours with well balanced touches of salinity and background oak. A broad, lengthy and ethereal finish. Stunningly good. (2131 views) | | | Tasted by UFGators on 12/20/2022 & rated 95 points: From 375ml. So much depth and complexity. This is drinking well now but will benefit from age. This is proof how an excellent producer can make great wine in any year. (2455 views) | | | Tasted by weezie on 12/15/2022 & rated 94 points: See prior note. (2014 views) | | | Tasted by weezie on 11/25/2022 & rated 93 points: Classic Mouchere. While showing the mineral and acid structure typical of Mouchere in its youth, this was a bit softer and less chiseled than the 2017 we had a few weeks ago. This opened up beautifully, with fruit and white floral notes on the nose, and even some buttered popcorn notes on the palate after an hour or two of air. (1880 views) | | | Tasted by Collector1855 on 11/24/2022 & rated 95 points: During the La Paulee in Meursault so only brief impressions. Had the 2018 and the 2015 served. Both excellent 95pt wines and very similar. Flinty palate with excellent lemon peel and well judged oak. Creamy and racy, top class. (2122 views) | | | Tasted by DCHawkeye on 11/17/2022 & rated 94 points: Popped'n poured to start a dinner with friends at La Piquette in DC. Initially too cold when poured, but as this came up to temp, it showed beautifully as always. Hoping Boillot has premox issues under control, since I love this vineyard. (1421 views) | | | Tasted by Paul D on 11/16/2022 & rated 92 points: No formal notes but i enjoyed this. Very reduced at first but opened up to show some decent character. Attractive creamy oak, pear fruit, sesame seed, attractive creamy weight, decent acids, good length finish. Excellent. (1517 views) | | | Tasted by NickA on 11/16/2022 & rated 92 points: Nine red 2006 Burgs (Noize): VERY reduced at first, painfully so really, although luckily 5-10 minutes swirling my glass did help somewhat. That said, the nose remained the weak point, not living up to the exciting experience of swilling and swallowing this electrifying, taut, focused wine. I enjoyed the intense flavours of lime zest and vanilla, and expect this to show brilliantly in 5-10 years' time. No sign of any 2018 flab; it would have been interesting to combine this wine and the (very different) 2015 J-M Boillot we drank it with in a single glass! (1846 views) | | | Tasted by Vinumming & Ahhing on 11/16/2022 & rated 89 points: 2006 Burgundy with a few additions (Noizé, London): Lemon oil and faint dill edge to the nose. A little hazelnut and some creaminess. Palate is focused, and well balanced although the solarity of vintage is there in the background with a little more alcohol than would be ideal. Later some chalkiness emerges. (1687 views) | | | Only displaying the 25 most recent notes - click to see all notes for this wine... |

2019 vintage reports

2022 harvest: idealwine.info | wine-searcher.comBurgundy Les vins de Bourgogne (Bureau interprofessionnel des vins de Bourgogne) (and in English)
Burgundy - The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Cote de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Cote de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Cote Chalonnaise and the Maconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Cote d'Or. Also included by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.

# 2013 Vintage Notes:
* "2013 is a vintage that 20 years ago would have been a disaster." - Will Lyons
* "low yields and highly variable reds, much better whites." - Bill Nanson
* "Virtually all wines were chaptalised, with a bit of sugar added before fermentation to increase the final alcohol level." - Jancis Robinson
# 2014 Vintage Notes:
"We have not had such splendid harvest weather for many years. This will ensure high quality (fragrant, classy and succulent are words already being used) across the board, up and down the hierarchy and well as consistently from south to north geographically apart from those vineyards ravaged by the hail at the end of June." - Clive Coates
# 2015 Vintage Notes:
"Low yields and warm weather allowed for ample ripeness, small berries and an early harvest. Quality is looking extremely fine, with some people whispering comparisons with the outstanding 2005 vintage. Acid levels in individual wines may be crucial." - Jancis Robinson
# 2017 Vintage Notes:
"Chablis suffered greatly from frost in 2017, resulting in very reduced volumes. As ever, the irony seems to be that what remains is very good quality, as it is in the Côte d’Or. Cooler nights across the region have resulted in higher-than-usual acidity, with good conditions throughout the harvest season allowing for ripe, healthy fruit." - Jancis Robinson
# 2018 Vintage Notes:
"The most successful region for red Burgundy in 2018 was the Côte de Beaune. The weather was ideal in this area, with just enough sunlight and rain to produce perfectly balanced wines naturally." - Vinfolio
