Great Value Premier Cru White Burgundy for $19.99
Some of the best values in a white Burgundy these days are those coming from the Cote Chalonnaise region just south and west of Cote de Beaune areas like St Aubin, Chassagne Montrachet, and Puligny Montrachet.We’ve got one of those values from the Cote Chalonnaise region from Jean-Marc Boillot, a favorite producer of ours. The wine we are talking about is the 2008 Jean-Marc Boillot Montagny Premier Cru. This Premier Cru Montagny nearly has the feel of Chassagne Montrachet with it’s richness, but finishes with the stony minerality and lemony citrus character that you generally find in Montagny. Montagny is often called the “Chablis of the South” for this reason.The 2008 Boillot Montagny Premier Cru is a bargain for a Premier Cru white at a price of just 19.99 per bottle, with $1 per bottle shipping on six and Free Shipping on a Case!Jon Visser Wine Buyer 4 starsRipe tropical fruit falvors on the nose. On the palate there is plenty of richness from the malolactic fermentation. The fruit though is more of a lemony-citrus with stony minerality. A tremendous value for a premier cru white Burgundy at 19.99!
