Tasting Notes
Neal Martin 91
The 2017 Chambertin Grand Cru is much more reticent on the nose than Boillot s other Grand Crus, to the extent that it is difficult coaxing much fruit from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with toasty tannin, quite sweet on the entry with candied orange peel, hints of brown sugar and pain d epices towards the finish that does possess an impressively long aftertaste.
Anticipated maturity: 2023-2040

There are two barrels of the 2017 Chambertin Grand Cru, a wine that’s more focused and tensile than the Clos de Beze, offering up aromas of sweet cassis, red berries, baking chocolate, soil and espresso, framed by a touch of cedary new oak. On the palate, it’s medium to full-bodied, bright and precise, with a pretty core of fruit and a mineral finish.
