Yves Boyer-Martenot Burgundy, France |
|
 |
| |
|
|
| |
| |
This is a truly spectacular domaine, blissfully underrated and therefore a bargain given its level of quality. With choice holdings of old non-clonal vines, Vincent Boyer (who has now taken over the domaine from his father Yves) achieves naturally low yields, which gives his wines great power and expression. On that note, he believes firmly in allowing site character to express itself clearly, as illustrated in his many single-vineyard offerings. His wines occupy a best-of-both-worlds position; they have vineyard typicity and terroir expressiveness on the one hand, and multidimensional flavors and textures on the other. Vincent guides the wines through lengthy malolactic fermentations on their own wild yeasts, followed by aging 12 months in oak, approximately one-third of which is new.
This estate’s stupendous Bourgogne Blanc is the equivalent of many producers’ village-level Meursault, and the wines just get better from there. The lieu-dit Meursault “L’Ormeau” comes from 80-90 year-old vines in the heart of the vineyard, and is very intense and long. Of his fantastic premier crus, “Les Perrieres” tends toward raciness and steely minerality, while “Les Charmes” – considered by many to be the greatest wine in his lineup – is harmonious, ripe, honeyed, and luscious. Yves also produces two wonderful Puligny-Montrachet premier crus, competitive with the very best in the appellation. |
