2006 Maison Henri Boillot Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru "Les Embrazées" (Previously $70)

92 points Allen Meadows' Burghound: "This the purest and finest of this trio of Chassagne 1ers with is citrusy green fruit and herbal notes that are trimmed in an almost invisible oak influence that complement to perfection the rich, full and sweet flavors that cut like a knife on the powerful, stony and palpably vibrant finish. This is an explosive and remarkably intense wine and as mineral-infused as the Chaumées is, one expects that from Embrazées and it absolutely delivers. Great." (07/08) 89-91 points Stephen Tanzer: "Sexy aromas of apricot and peach. Fat, sexy and open-knit, with ripe flavors of stone fruits and honey. A bit youthfully aggressive and powerful on the back end. In a somewhat warm style but with no shortage of freshness. Boillot says that this is 'not clean in its current stage,' at the end of the malolactic fermentation." (Sept/Oct 07) 89-90 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "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."
