2020 Pommard Clos Blanc

Tasting Notes
Boillot only bought this plot in 2018, with the fruit declassified to their Bourgogne Rouge until 2019. The wines are now a little older and producing a wine worthy of its own bottling. In 2020, the nose is full of spice, with layers of rich, dark fruit beneath. It’s smooth and suave on the palate – yet there’s a grip of tannins on the finish, balanced beautifully by a swathe of plush yet crunchy berry fruit.

Deep full purple, the nose seems almost discreet after the Volnays. Clos Blanc is a cooler spot. There is a firm thread running through the middle, and a tannin or two. Plenty of concentration at the back, not too ripe, good potential.
About the producer
Based in Meursault and farming some of the finest vineyards in the Côte de Beaune, Henri Boillot is a leading address in Burgundy. He crafts fine Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, but the estate is best known for its flagship monopole vineyard, Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru Clos de la Mouchère.
