In one of the region’s most regarded sites, Boulay’s vines claim prime position, sitting on that vein of Kimmeridgian limestone, the same that runs down through Chablis. Vines here are as old as 110 years. The steep slopes, old vines, and SE exposure ensures that this is often one of the most densely fruited wines. However this year I found it had a little more generosity than the others, certainly not a big wine, in the sense of fruitfulness, but if any in this bracket could be said to be “easy going” then this would come closest. I was startled by how good this wine was and it is only the first. Long, salty, tactile and struck through by a rod of acidity that tightens everything up at the end. It’s excellent! ROSCOE
