  Bright golden yellow. Smokey vanilla and smooth stone fruit. Oakey up front. Wet stones/ salinity on the back end. but very smooth. Long finish already but still young 14.5% abv. Very good now but will get better as Oak becomes less dominant.

  Fan of this cuvee for the balance of richness and minerality. Early check in on the 2020. Delicious and full of energy, but showing a touch leaner than usual from memory, and despite the vintage. Everything there, and should be stellar with some age to soften the edges and open up further

  Neighbourhood friends late night at home. Tasted blind. Aired in bottle for 4 hours already. Drank in Gabriel Standart.
  Appearance is clear, pale intensity, yellow lemon colour. Legs.
  Nose medium+ intensity, reductive flintiness on each fresh pour, with other aromas of nutty integrating oak, citrus lemon, ripe peaches, mineral background. Developing.
  On the palate, dry, medium+ acidity, medium+ alcohol (14.5%), medium+ body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of hazelnut, almond, integrating oak toast, spice, ripe peaches, citrus lemon. Lovely long finish.
  Now this was really good. At this point in time, considered on the leaner side of things in the context of what Henri Boillot whites used to be like. Maybe will put on some weight with a little more age. But really delicious already now.

  Dégusté a 67 Pall Mall, ouvert 45 minutes avant service et mis en carafe. Nez extraordinaire dès les premières minutes ! Un régal de finesse, minéralité et d’intensité. En bouche superbe équilibre et une très belle longueur. Superbe!

  This was a very good wine, very fine and noble. Still I was a bit disappointed given the ratings here. It lacked a bit the wow factor for me and I found it a bit too "lean", lacking a bit tension. But maybe just a bad day or the food was overpowering the wine. Will try more in the future.
