Thyme, oregano, iris, and peony dominate the nose of Boillot's 2006 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Chenevottes, a dense wine whose sappy intensity is matched by invigorating salinity; deep carnal, umami savor; and lingering floral and fruit pit bitter-sweetness. Anything this lacks in charm or verve vis a vis the Les Chaumees, it gains in sheer density and finishing intensity. It should be worth following for 4-5 years. Henri Boillot's ambitious and burgeoning negociant arm is made up in large part of many small bottling lots, representing remarkably many of the Cote d-Or's most prestigious crus. -Precision and minerality- are words he offers to explain his intentions even in a vintage as ripe as 2006, and for the most part he walks the accompanying walk, with wines (largely assembled in tank) that showed more generously and expressively than did Boillot's estate wines on the same day.Importer: The Sorting Table, Napa, CA; tel.
