Domaine Henri Boillot Chambertin 2006 is a full-bodied red Burgundy from the Grand Cru of Chambertin in the Côte de Nuits commune of Gevrey-Chambertin. Fifth-generation winemaker Jean Boillot is one of the most exciting emerging talents in Burgundy, a winemaker whose diligent work in the vineyards (both his family`s and those he manages for negociant label) and the cellar yields wines of extraordinary purity, depth and terroir transparency. "Here the nose is even riper with ample oak notes setting off mocha, plum, warm earth and wood spice aromas that precede rich, suave and round big-bodied flavours that retain a fine sense of detail on the moderately austere, powerful and ultra intense finish that explodes with backend minerality. Despite the austerity of the finish, there is a fruit-forward character though make no mistake, this should age for at least two decades, perhaps longer. While the two wines are quite different in terms of their respective personalities, qualitatively they are essentially equivalent - a choice." Burghound, 2008
