Introduction:
The 2022 Domaine Henri Boillot Bourgogne Pinot Noir is a refined and expressive Burgundian Pinot, offering a balance of bright red fruit, earthy complexity, and elegant structure. As an entry-level wine from a prestigious producer, this bottling beautifully showcases the finesse and purity of Burgundy’s terroir.
Terrior:
Sourced from vineyards across Burgundy, this Pinot Noir benefits from limestone-rich soils and a cool continental climate, which help preserve acidity and enhance aromatic complexity. The combination of old vines and meticulous vineyard management results in a wine with both vibrancy and depth.
Appearance:
Pale ruby with brilliant clarity and slight garnet reflections.
Nose:
Aromatic and delicate, featuring fresh red cherries, raspberries, and wild strawberries, alongside subtle notes of dried roses, forest floor, and a hint of spice from oak aging.
Palate:
Light to medium-bodied with silky tannins and lively acidity. Juicy red fruit flavors dominate, complemented by hints of savory herbs, crushed stone, and a gentle touch of vanilla and toast from well-integrated oak. The texture is smooth and refined, with a delicate balance between fruit, acidity, and structure.
Finish:
Elegant and lingering, with bright red fruit and a touch of minerality that leaves a fresh and refined impression.
Overall Impression:
A beautifully crafted Bourgogne Pinot Noir that highlights the classic elegance and subtle complexity of Burgundy. This wine is approachable in its youth but has the balance to develop further with short-term aging. Perfect for pairing with roasted poultry, mushroom dishes, or soft cheeses.
