I had ordered this from RWC awhile ago and it got tied up in storage. Based on the earlier tasting notes, I didn't hold out high hopes but you have to drink your supply, right? I found the wine to very good bordering on excellent. The color alone was worth it- a sparkling ruby, definitely beautiful red and no purple in sight. While the nose wasn't a knockout, some solid burgundy notes with dirt and even mushrooms. While the tannins have settled down, decent acid and wonderful cherry flavors with a sour note. While I suspect most of this is long gone, it's a good sign for other Boillot Village wines.

Elegantly styled Bourgogne, very stylish. Could maybe use just a bit more mid-palate intensity. Good acidity leaves a pleasant cherry stone bitterness on the finish.

I imagine this could've been a decent wine last year. THIS year the nose is all whisky lactone with hits of off-oxidised plum notes. The mouth is suprisingly round and full and nbt what I was expecting (thin, acidic)... but sadly the mouth is on its way out too. If you have any of this drink it now. There really isn't more to say.

Disappointing...thin and lacking any fruit.

Very lean and austere with little fruit. Good acidity with lots of earth and minerality. Needs food.
