Louis Boillot Vieilles Vignes Moulin a Vent is made from the grapes of vines that are 50-60 year old vines. The fruit is an blend of four parcels from sites close together. On the nose it has impressive weight and structure more in the style of a red Burgundy.The palate is dense, pure and palate coating with nuances of raspberries and red cherries. It has great volume and tannic structure, as is often the case with Moulin-a-Vent.

"There is a lovely perfumed quality to the very fresh red currant and newly turned earth scents where a trace of the sauvage creeps in. I very much like the texture of the medium-bodied and lightly stony flavors that possess very good mid-palate density where a mild hint of rusticity creeps in on the compact, linear and impressively persistent finish. This is definitely Pommard in character but a relatively refined one.". 90-93, Outstanding. Burghound Issue #73

"Now that grandpère is 95 years old it is Louis who does this vineyard work here. Rich mid purple. The nose is clearly riper than Champonnets. It is really beautiful though, the age of the vines (planted 1912) has held it all together and there is an excellent natural acidity behind the complex sweet cherry fruit. Very long perfumed finish, adorable. Long silky finish." (93-95) Jasper Morris

"Very dense vibrant purple black, bristling with energy. Lively raspberry and fresh blackberry, still with this all-pervading sense of energy. The richest and densest Evocelles I have tasted but all kept perfectly in proportion and a very long fresh finish." (92-94). Jasper Morris

Boillot-Barthod is the new name for Louis Barthod, celebrating Louis & Ghislaine's son - Clément -taking over the winemkaing reins.
"Here the expressive nose is compositionally similar to the old vines cuvée but with more evident spice elements. The impressively concentrated and almost opulently rich big-bodied flavors are muscular and powerful, all wrapped in a mouth coating and incredibly long finish. This is a knockout though note well that if you wish to drink it at its peak, plenty of … more

Boillot-Barthod is the new name for Louis Boillot, celebrating Louis & Ghislaine's son - Clément -taking over the winemkaing reins.
"A much earthier and more sauvage nose exhibits notes of mostly red berries with touches of herbal tea, humus and pepper. The energetic and utterly delicious flavors exude a subtle minerality on the powerful, serious, highly complex and built-to-age finale. This is terrific and worth checking out if you can find it." 91-93. Outstanding Top value. Burghound Issue 81.

Burghound 'Louis Boillot's views are consistent with those of his wife Ghislaine Barthod.... I would add only that Boillot noted that he began the harvest on the 2nd of September in Volnay. As the scores and commentaries confirm, Boillot did fabulously well in 2015, indeed I would go so far as to say that they are among the best wines that I have ever seen from him. Moreover Beaujolais lovers should not ignore those wines either as all three are … more

'A surprisingly high-toned nose freely displays notes of cranberry, red raspberry, earth and a hint of anise character. There is excellent volume and richness to the bigger and more powerful flavors that are less refined but equally persistent on the youthfully austere and dusty but not rustic finale. This very firm effort is also clearly constituted for the long haul.' 91-93pts Burghound.

Burghound 'Here too there is noticeable reduction that knocks down the underlying fruit today. Otherwise there is a finer mouthfeel if slightly less concentration to the delicious and beautifully vibrant flavors that exude a subtle minerality that suffuses the refreshing, lilting and elegant finish. This too is really quite lovely and I like the overall sense of harmony as it's at once very Volnay while being underpinned by firm but ripe tannins. Barrel tasted 2019 89-92pts.'
