The 2018 Bourgogne Rouge opens in the glass with a pretty and expressive bouquet of cherries, berries and hints of forest floor. Medium to full-bodied, deep and structured, it’s a serious wine that’s starkly different from its supple, open-knit 2017 counterpart.

• Wine Advocate: The 2018 Bourgogne Rouge opens in the glass with a pretty and expressive bouquet of cherries, berries and hints of forest floor. Medium to full-bodied, deep and structured, it’s a serious wine that’s starkly different from its supple, open-knit 2017 counterpart. As readers will remember, this cuvée derives from vines in the communes of Brochon and Gevrey-Chambertin.

Producer Information

Domaine Louis Boillot is an estate in Chambolle-Musigny in the Côte de Nuits region of Burgundy. It has numerous Premier Cru vineyard holdings in both the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune, the largest of which is situated in Gevrey-Chambertin. The vast majority of Louis Boillot wines are made from Pinot Noir, although the domaine makes a small amount of wine from Chardonnay and Gamay. Louis’ father, Lucien Boillot originally hailed from Volnay, where his father ran Domaine Henri Boillot, but settled in Gevrey-Chambertin in the 1950s and founded Domaine Lucien Boillot et Fils. The estate was divided between his sons, Louis and Pierre in 2002. Louis released the first Domaine Louis Boillot vintage in 2003 from his cellars in Chambolle-Musigny, which he shares with partner Ghislaine Barthod – winemaker and owner of Domaine Ghislaine Barthod. The two domaines are managed completely independently of one another and the wines are also vinified separately. The vineyards are maintained and farmed using the “lutte raisonnée” (lit. “reasoned struggle”) approach which involves minimal human intervention and the use of fewer manmade chemicals.
