Henri Boillot Latricieres Chambertin Grand Cru 2021 750ml

Here there is enough reduction present to push the underlying fruit to the background so be sure to give this some air if your curiosity gets the better of you! By contrast, there is outstanding freshness and tension to the borderline aggressively mineral-inflected medium weight flavors that possess a more sophisticated, and certainly finer, texture while displaying very fine length on the moderately austere, compact and firm finale. This is a bit less harmonious than the Echézeaux but I suspect that it’s just a phase that will progressively pass.

Varietal

Pinot Noir

Regularly described as being the grape varietal responsible for producing the world’s most romantic wines, Pinot Noir has long been associated with elegance and a broad range of flavors The name means ‘black pine’ in French, and this is due to the fact that the fruit of this particular varietal is especially dark in color, and hangs in a conical shape, like that of a pine cone. Despite being grown today in almost every wine producing country, Pinot Noir is a notoriously difficult grape variety to cultivate. This is because it is especially susceptible to various forms of mold and mildew, and thrives best in steady, cooler climates. However, the quality of the fruit has ensured that wineries and vintners have persevered with the varietal, and new technologies and methods have overcome many of the problems it presents. Alongside this, the wide popularity and enthusiasm for this grape has ensured it will remain a firm favorite amongst wine drinkers for many years to come.
