Pierre Boillot took control of his 7 hectares of Domaine Lucien Boillot in the early 2000s, concentrating on the vineyard as the source of the quality, believing like so many that the main work is done there. His 2006 Volnay is just beginning to drink now and is beautifully perfumed, with some herby, spiced notes and some fine, fresh tannins.

"Burgundy has had a good recent run of Côte d’Or red vintages, including 2006. So what you get with this very elegant, leafy, plummy volnay is oodles of mild and medium-strength game-bird-suitable fruit, plus a long, smoky finish. Delicious drunk young with all its juicy pinot noir fruit to the fore, this one could cope with turkey provided that you went easy on the trimmings. Or put it away until 2014 while it evolves into a fine, tobacco and truffle-laden aged volnay." Jane MacQuitty, The Times, 19th December 2009

"Good texture with fine tannin and a creamy strawberry-ish flavour. Voluptuous whilst retaining Pinot delicacy it will age well for 5 years. Good wine." The Wine Gang.
