Domaine Louis Boillot Volnay Les Grands Poisots 2017

“The 2017 vintage is a great success for this small but superb domaine.” -Parker’s Wine Advocate

The 2017 Volnay is a masterpiece of Burgundian finesse from a cool but special vintage that was called ‘a gift.’ It offers a beautifully perfumed nose of red cherries, wild strawberries, and crushed violets. On the attack, this Pinot Noir delivers an elegant, silky texture with perfectly integrated, ripe tannins and a bright, lingering finish. I’d throw it in the medium-bodied category. The super power here is that with a few swirls of the glass, it always seems to find a new gear, revealing layer after layer of fresh, silky red cherry and juicy plum notes. This puts to shame a lot of its premier cru neighbors.
