  Similar to my note in February. This has perhaps gained an extra tick of heft since my last bottle. Medium intensity and energy, but with a lemon citrus and stone fruit complexity that beckons another sip. Finishes with measured acidity and requisite drive to keep the speed rolling.
  
  Less intense than some of F-G’s other offerings this vintage, but still a solid C-M 1er. 93-94 point range on best sips.

  Clean, fresh, and wonderfully balanced, the Boudriotte saunters its way across the palate with pure yellow citrus flavors that are flanked by quince, grass, and mineral elements that add to its overall complexity and elongate the finish.
  
  Admittedly, not as captivating as the Romanee nor as vivacious and punchy as the Caillerets, the Boudriotte still holds its own as a solid performer. Air helps to broaden its shoulders more. An even-keeled, friendly specimen with an extra tick of sophistication and verve to keep it at that 1er level. Try again in a couple of years.
