Henri Boillot describes his 2011s as more floral and fruity than his 2010s but less mineral."It's like the difference between Meursault Genevrieres and Perrieres," he summarized."The Genevrieres is all about fruit while the Perrieres is rocky and saline. Two thousand eleven is characterized by lichee, peach and ripe pear:white fruits.But the vintage also has a good vertebral column, similar to 2010."As is his habit, Boillot picked his chardonnay early ("I wanted spine"), beginning on August 29.Acidity levels are in the sound 4.15 to 4.5 grams-per-liter range and pHs are low.The wines are bone-dry (under one gram per liter, according to Boillot), but he noted that "creaminess gives them gras and sucrosite."Boillot has made some of the finest wines of the vintage in 2011.
