Domaine Jean-Marc Boillot, Montagny 1er Cru, Burgundy, France, 2022

Overview of the Wine
Jean-Marc Boillot was one of the younger generation in Burgundy who was determined to improve his family’s wines. In 1984, after vinifying 13 vintages at the family’s domaine, Henri Boillot, Jean-Marc walked out in protest, intent on producing highly concentrated, rich, and ripe wines. He became the winemaker for Olivier Leflaive for the next four years and at the same time produced wines from 5-acres of vineyards, bottled under his own label. The wines impressed Boillot’s grandfather, who bequest half his vineyard to Jean-Marc. Boillot runs his domaine from his grandfather Henri Boillot’s house and cellars in the village of Pommard. Jean-Marc’s maternal grandfather was the late Etienne Sauzet, from whom he also inherited exceptional vineyards.

Winemaker's Tasting Notes
Very spicy on the nose and also on the palate. Creamy vanilla bean flavors, round and silky in texture with lovely side acids and juicy fruit. Lovely lifted white flower nose with just a touch of ripeness to the fruit which makes it so inviting. Satisfying rich on the palate, but finishes fresh and long. This is so well balanced and already delicious to drink.

91 Points - James Suckling
A full-bodied, flavorful chardonnay with butter cream, white peach, praline and vanilla aromas. Toasty and generous, but balanced and bright. Drink now.
