Gevrey-Chambertin, Domaine Louis Boillot, Burgundy, France

Louis Boillot’s wife is Ghislaine Barthod who makes her own very lovely Chambolle-Musigny in the cellars they have shared since 2003. Whilst their wines are made independently (but no doubt with some consultation), Ghislaine and Louis share the same team in the vineyards so much of the magic appears in the wines of both domaines.

Louis has eight different parcels around Gevrey which contain some of his domaine’s oldest vines. There is lots of immediate charm and the wine is very easy to taste. The tannins are easy and silky. A lovely example of 2017 without artifice. Drink from now until 2024.
