2013 | Domaine Louis Boillot | Volnay 1Er Cru les Angles

Sweet red fruit - slightly candied, with a violet character. Then a very wet earth sort of note on the palate, veering into mouldiness.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2013 Volnay 1er Cru les Angles had reached 12 degrees natural alcohol by September 28 and so Louis Boillot went ahead and picked this vineyard. No point in waiting. It has plenty of fruit on the nose: mint-tinged raspberry preserve and smudged strawberry. The palate has good substance with raspberry and blackberry notes, fine structure and what you might call a “solid” finish. There’s a bit of brio about this Volnay that I like.

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.
