Domaine Henri Boillot
Bourgogne Pinot Noir
Burgundy, France
Nightcap. I have been eyeing this 2018 Bourgogne Rouge for sometime and haven’t found the night to enjoy. Seems it was meant for tonight’s nightcap.
I enjoy Henri’s whites over his reds. His whites are go to. But, this red burgundy is quite pleasant. Nice on its own but is more friendly with/ food…Duck Confit.
It has started to settle in nicely. Fruits are dark & mid red & forward. Ripe, lush & juicy; blackberries, black raspberries, plum w/ heavy skin, strawberries, red cherries & pomegranate with blue & purple fruit hues. Light baking spices-cinnamon, nutmeg, vanillin, chocolate pudding, toast, moist, blended limestone minerals, dry top soil, beautiful, soft, dark spice blend, fresh rain showered forest floor, tea, tree sap, fresh herbs, touch of mint/eucalyptus, moist, grey volcanic clay, dry twig, red cola notes, dry, floral, dark, red & purple flowers/florals, round acidity and a nicely knitted, tensioned, structured, balanced, rich, polished finish that last a full minute.
$30-35 on release.

Superbe Bourgogne générique, un fruit rouge généreux, pur et éclatant, en fraîcheur et en finesse avec des tannins raffinés, un vin équilibré et savoureux. 89-90
Very nice generic Bourgogne, nice generous red fruit, pure, fresh, with refined tannins, well balanced and gorgeous bottle for the rank.

2020 fall. This was delicious and quite impressive for its appellation - perhaps 2018 was good to wines like this. Lots of juicy berry fruit, very moreish
