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 - 89pts
"The 2020 Bourgogne Les Bons Bâtons bursts with aromas of cherries, raspberries, rose petals and spices. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and charming, with a bright core of pure, perfumed fruit, it's a terrific effort that always ages with grace. As ever, readers should 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."
