The Wine:
This wine remains terrific value, especially when you consider the tiny yields. The fruit comes from a 1.5-hectare parcel of 50-plus-year-old vines in the renowned Les Bon Bâtons vineyard in Gilly-lès-Cîteaux (on the edge of Chambolle). It’s a very rocky site for Bourgogne. As always, this wine could easily be mistaken for a handy village-level Chambolle. There is only 10% new oak, and the wine will hold and develop for at least five more years, likely even 10. A recent bottle of 2010 was in great form and still youthful!
The Review:
William Kelley, The Wine Advocate - 88pts
"Quintessentially charming, the 2021 Bourgogne Les Bons Bâtons opens in the glass with aromas of plums, red berries and cherries, followed by a medium-bodied, supple and melting palate, concluding with a spicy finish. As usual, note that this cuvée is only sold with the lieu-dit name on the label in the United States market, but it's the same bottling in every market."
