The Boillot 2006 Montrachet (from the Chassagne side) displays a musky, peachy, decadently floral nose; a subtly oily, deep, piquantly nutty, richly ripe yet at the same time brightly citric palate; and resonant finish. This enveloping wine should stand up to at least 6-8 years of bottle age, and may well develop more nuance along the way. But it is not on a level with the best grand crus in this collection, nor do I find it easy to imagining it achieving such heights. 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.
