2010 Gevrey-Chambertin, Domaine Louis Boillot & Fils, Burgundy

Description

Boillot's Gevrey-Chambertin is a blend from six different plots averaging 50 to 60 years of age. This wine presents itself with a superb pink to purple colour coupled with a vibrant energy and delicious, juicy palate. There is a very pleasing long finish which is fresh and perfumed. Drink 2014-2018
Jasper Morris MW, Berrys' Burgundy Director

Louis Boillot sees 2010 as being in the style of 2008 but with twice the power and this new vintage certainly has both energy and purity. Most vineyards are down 30% in volume this year, though some are worse unfortunately, having lost many vines to the big freeze.

Critics reviews

Antonio Galloni 88-90/100
The 2010 Gevrey-Chambertin is another striking village-level wine from Boillot. Here the aromas and flavors are chiseled and very finely knit; in other words, very Gevrey. This is a style built on length and minerality and drive above all else. Floral notes add lift on the finish. I loved it. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2025.antonio_galloni - 29/02/2012

Top Value Wines from the 2010 Vintage (exclusively from old vines of an indeterminate age). This is also exceptionally fresh with cool, airy and layered aromas of both red and dark berry fruit, underbrush and pungent Gevrey-style earth. There is excellent cut and plenty of energy to the precise and stone-inflected flavors that possess an impressive amount of dry extract that confers a textured quality to the highly complex finish. Like the Grands Poisots, this is a first-rate villages. 2018+ (allen_meadows - burghound_com.com - January 2012)

About this wine

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is probably the most frustrating, and at times infuriating, wine grape in the world. However when it is successful, it can produce some of the most sublime wines known to man. This thin-skinned grape which grows in small, tight bunches performs well on well-drained, deepish limestone based subsoils as are found on Burgundy's Côte d'Or. Pinot Noir is more susceptible than other varieties to over cropping - concentration and varietal character disappear rapidly if yields are excessive and yields as little as 25hl/ha are the norm for some climats of the Côte d`Or.
