Boillot's 2006 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Embrazees (from old vines in a high, south-facing site bordering Satenay) features bright, tart lemon and yellow plum playing against a creamily textured, crushed stone-infused backdrop. Impressively intense and persistent and with clearly formidable extract and slight finishing bitterness, this is not the most harmonious of 2006s for now, but should merit 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.
