Louis BOILLOT & Fils (Chambolle-Musigny) -- Part I: Côte de Beaune Tasted from Barrel

Louis Boillot said that his 2017 vintage was even more abundant than 2018.

He began the harvest in the Côte d’Or twice. On 28 August, he harvested the Caillerets and Les Angles in Volnay. He then went to the Beaujolais to harvest his Moulin-à-Vent, returning to the Côte d’Or on 2 September.

As always, the grapes were entirely de-stemmed. Malo-lactic fermentations were very early, some even finishing in October due of the warm cellars and the very low amounts of malic acid in the grape juice.
