  The other century vine offering chez Boillot. Kind of on the austere side relative to the Cherbaudes. It gives an intensely stony impression like someone had mixed a bag of cement powder into the vat. If you are looking for a true rockhead wine this will definitely fit the bill. But I kept waiting for the fruit to pop out, and it seemed to keep teasing at it but was still reluctant to poke through the earth and blossom. If I'm making this sound fruitless, that is overstating things and a factor of having the Cherbaudes fresh in my mind. It's not like this is lacking for fruit or even fruit ripeness at all, it's just a cool, windswept ripe instead of warm, sunny ripe, but the tannins are still nicely combed and there's nothing hard or edgy about this.
