We're always keeping our eyes peeled for top value producers in Burgundy, and certainly Éric Boigelot is one of the most exciting we've found to date. Éric is next door to Raphael Coche Dury - to whom Éric 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 Éric. If it's good enough for Coche, it's good enough for you should be the strapline here... "10-20% new oak here. Attractively herbal nose – essential oils, orange bitters, chamomile, dancing around a core of bright yellow orchard and citrus fruits. Succulent attack, with a balance of green apples, richer mandarin fruit and salted lemons giving decent complexity." Tom Harrow, Head Wine Guru
