Henri Boillot is one of Burgundy new superstars, pure and simple. Perhaps most impressive is that he excels with both chardonnay and pinot, and with his negociant as well as his domain offerings. Boillot has some stunningly rich 2000 whites in the works. He told me this vintage generally has more acidity than '99, even if a few '99s had acid levels similar to the '96s. The 2000s, he added, are fatter and more complex than the '99s, with fruit often verging on exotic, while the earlier vintage is characterized by white flowers. Natural alcohols were slightly lower than in '99 but the wines show similar density. Vintage 2000, he noted, is an especially good year for Puligny-Montrachet and the more minerally Meursault sites. After tasting a number of '00s and bottled '99s at Boillot's home base, we tasted several more young 2000s in his just-finished air-conditioned aging facility on the other side of the route nationale which he constructed in order to have the space to do longer levage for his negociant bottlings. In this frigid, neutral space, the 2000s showed remarkable texture and potential. (Robert Kacher Selections, Washington, D.C.)
