Domaine Henri Boillot
Bourgogne Chardonnay
Meursault, Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, France
Nose has light wood smoke, light struck flint, washed lemon, cold pineapple, apricots, chalky limestone, light vanilla and browning butter.
Palate has warmed lemon slice, candied pineapple, light toffee, warm yellow apple, orange zest, dried lemon pith with good acidity and medium finish. Not as good as the 2016 vintage, but certainly enjoyable!

Looks important. Tastes important. $25, and you’d be hard-pressed to find a villages Meursault that can touch it. Taut, mannerly...but the energy and pure class can’t be contained.

Another Mersault style wine. Oaky, nutty, sunflower seeds, sunny wine. Orchard fuits, pears. Nose suggests it is more heavy wine than it appears on the palate. Light weight and somewhat flat on the palate. Good mouth watering acidity.
Doesn't meet my high expectations for this Domaine in this particular vintage.
