Domaine Henri Boillot Volnay Les Chevrets 1er Cru

The 2012 Volnay Les Chevrets is magnificent. Deeply spiced layers of dark fruit open up on the palate, followed by smoke, tar and licorice. This is the deepest and most intense of the Boillot Volnays. Like all of the wines in this range, the fruit is packed, resonant and beautifully expressive. The 2012 is going to need a few years, to unwind, but it is undeniably beautiful. Production from two hectares of vineyards was 9 barrels instead of 30. Drink: 2017-2032. Score - 92-94.
