I poured the Raeburn Chardonnay 2021 and found it at 14%, the alcohol overpowering all the other flavors on the palate. For this reason, while the wine is correct in every respect, I lowered its rating. To be fair, my girlfriend enjoyed very much.

2005 Domaine Lucien Boillot et Fils Volnay 1er Cru Les Brouillards

Leaving aside issues of Lucien vs Louis, I am pretty sure I tasted Domaine LUCIEN Boillot et Fils Volnay "Les Brouillards" 2005, and like its lieu-dit, after a short five years in the bottle, it is a bit foggy to discern the wine's true character, let alone its potential.
More precisely, while there's red and black fruit on the nose and palate, it is in between fresh and cooked, not one, not the next....A mere hit of sous bois in the nose, but muddled and restrained. It's young still, and closed in; overall, a bit difficult to say if it will blossom into something more generous.
As with so many Burgundies, this wine was made by someone, and I am speaking here of Lucien, not highly rated by Coates, to take one authority, as an example.
So, I have to agree with the other correspondent, who did do a lot of homework about Lucien vs. Louis.
