Despite having only launched his domaine in 2002, Louis Boillot came armed with some of the oldest and best situated vineyards in Burgundy—thanks to the prime real-estate secured by four generations of Boillots n Volnay and Gevrey Chambertin. Louis’ domaine has quietly become one of the most admired small estates in the Côte d’Or but his latest project in Moulin-à-Vent has everyone taking notice including Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate who called out the wineries’, “superb examples of Moulin-à-Vent and Fleurie.”
This one today hasn’t made it yet to the Wine Advocate where we’ll see if they can match their two consecutive years of 94-point scores, but it already has a great 93-point write-up from John Gillman at the View From the Cellar. He said this:
“With all of Monsieur Boillot’s 2020 Moulin-à-Vent bottlings, he chose to include about twenty percent stems in the fermentations. However, he hand-selected the stems to use at his sorting table and then added them back into the cuvees prior to the start of fermentation, so that he could be certain to only use perfectly ripe stems. His 2020 Brussellions is another superb wine in the making, delivering an aromatic constellation of cassis, sweet cranberry, pigeon, fresh thyme, stony soil tones and plenty of upper register smokiness. On the palate the wine is deep, full and tangy, with lovely mineral drive and early complexity, ripe, moderate tannins and a long, vibrant and beautifully poised finish. 2025-2060.“

The newly released Fiancetto Howell Mt. Cabernet is a dream – a gorgeous, elegant dark-fruited Cabernet Sauvignon that is it picks up time in the glass, unfurls its full signature of cedar laced cassis nose and mid palate of chocolate-covered cherries and savory spices. Only four palates of this (224 cases) were made off a gorgeous, sprawling high elevation spot 1500 feet above sea level. It’s full and plush and finishes fresh and oh so long. The price is crazy for Howell Mountain Cabernet but that’s what Ry Richards and Fiancetto is all about.
It’s no surprise the Wine Advocate has called the Ventoux a “screaming bargain.” Carved off the left bank of the Rhone River, the 2020 Delas Ventoux is a gorgeous medium-bodied wine with wonderful crushed red fruits, a silky mouthfeel, tremendous structure and that signature Rhone spice on the finish. I haven’t had this wine available for a few vintages, but I figure it’s the perfect springtime Red to bring back in the fold!
The secret to Philippe’s tightly wound, complex Pinot Noir is a combo of ancient vines, natural farming techniques, and low yields. The wines are built to age, with incredible tension and length. And the secret to me securing his other-wordly 2017 old-vine Gevry-Chambertin can be chalked up to a great relationship and over a decade supporting superior Burgundian winemaking. The wine is scary good. The nose is wild, filled with spiced dark raspberries, red flowers, and baking spices. The palate is elegant and racy, with a dynamic tension that runs right through its minute-long finish. This is a high-toned, wound-up Pinot, that is starting to hit its prime and is really turning out to be a ‘must-have’ for true Burgundy lovers.
With seemingly infinite access to some of the absolute very best vineyards in the most choice AVAs in the valley, the Wagner’s set out to make Quilt– a Cabernet blend from a patchwork of the top sites in Napa (Oakville, St Helena, Atlas Peak, Coombsville, Calistoga, and Howell Mountain.) The brand new 2021 edition is a beauty – deeply concentrated, rich and a truly show stopping Cabernet. It’s a dark, hedonistic blend that combines elegance with power and pairs the two together effortlessly.
