Corton Charlemagne Henri Boillot 2016

Domaine Henri Boillot Corton Charlemagne 2016 is a Grand Cru Burgundy white wine from the Corton-Charlemagne appellation of the Côte de Beaune. Domaine Henri Boillot is both a wine estate and a négociant based in Meursault. The Domaine was established by Henri Boillot in 2005, although the Boillot family has a long history in winemaking that stretches back several generations. This cuvée comes from the prestigious Grand Cru Corton-Charlemagne, more specifically from the communes of Aloxe Corton, Pernand-Vergelesses and Ladoix-Serrigny. "Subtly complex, musky aromas of peach, caraway seed, nutmeg, mace and hazelnutty lees. At once densely packed and penetrating, with a stony citric pungency giving precision to the seamless middle palate and cutting through the wine`s texture. Wonderfully pure and energetic for this cuvée, finishing tactile and unflagging, with terrific citrus lift. This has the palate-staining length and structure for a slow and graceful evolution in bottle; it`s also the only 2016 here that struck me as tannic, but then classic Corton-Charlemagne typically shows structure more like a red wine."
