Nose: sesame seeds, stone fruits, popcorn, apricot, fried chestnut, sugar cane Notes: quite full in body with an attractive nose full of stone fruits and sesame seeds. With a diverse set of aroma this is a wonderful white with plenty of complexity. Nevertheless, I do feel that a better job can be done on the palate as it seems to be a little high on acidity so it lacks the balance one would expect compared to the nose it delivers. This is probably due to the difficult vintage of 2016 for white so it's not surprising that the palate is a little weak. I usually like this 1er Cru a lot and have been a fan of the Domaine's wines. Drink: now+ Rating: 90

had a few weeks ago but recall this being quite beautiful. pretty white stone fruit, lemon curd, great bracing acidity, good minerality. light to medium bodied. hitting all the right notes for a Boillot white burg

Flickinger Tasting at The Casino (Chicago, IL): Didn't love this; kind of in the same vein as the 2010 I had a few days ago. I wonder if it just needs a good number of hours open for it to aerate. But of course, the 2016 vintage was difficult so maybe not a surprise that this is missing the acidic cut I like in my white Burgundy. A little fat and oily, but not egregious like other 2016s I've had.

Très beau nez très aromatique et assez complexe, après le silex entre autres , il y a un côté floral. La bouche est assez mure, ronde avec une acidité qui se faufile juste assez pour un bel équilibre, toujours de la classe sur ce cru et une longueur convenable, sans être grand comme la dernière bouteille bue de ce 2016, c’est très bien. 91-92
Complex and aromatic nose of silex, some flint, and lovely floral scents. The wine is fairly ripe and round, with just enough acidity that sneaks in to make it balanced, very classy and not as great as my last one a year ago but still very good.
