We're always keeping our eyes peeled for top value producers in Burgundy, and certainly Domaine Éric Boigelot is one of the most exciting we've found to date. The domaine is next door to Raphael Coche Dury - to whom Charles at Boigelot is selling grapes, including all his Narvaux (sadly!). Coche no longer writes domaine on the label because of the need to source fruit externally – an amount of which comes from Charles. Recently William Kelley visited Charles for the first time in the Wine Advocate's history, noting that the whites are " already accomplished, particularly the ... concentrated Caillerets. And given Charles's youth, it's only the beginning: this is very much an address to watch. " The expression 'hidden gem' is hideously overused in wine writing, but in the case of Boigelot, we think it's very much justified.
