Vinous 92 | The 2023 Chablis La Boissonneuse has another generous and well-defined bouquet with Clementine and peach skin, just a hint of candy floss and spice. Quite mercurial in the glass. The palate is taut and fresh with a fine bead of acidity. Sapid in the mouth with plenty of extract and umami sensation on the finish. This should be on your shopping list. Rated 90-92
Allen Meadows Burghound 90 Points | In contrast to the Les Plantes, here the expressive nose is quite fresh with its notes of just sliced citrus, green apple and enough typicity to be convincing. There is excellent vibrancy to the sleek and well-defined flavors that display good length on the youthfully austere and highly refreshing finish. This isn't however especially complex so a few years of keeping are recommended. Rated: 87-90
Memo Summary Notes
This particular wine is a "poster child" for the benefits of organic and biodynamic viticulture. Julien Brocard is a pioneer in the region, and "La Boissonneuse" was actually his very first experimental biodynamic plot, certified since the early 2000s.
The 2023 vintage specifically reflects the purity and energy that these farming methods aim to achieve.
Pairing Suggestions
-
Fresh Oysters or Scallops: The "like-with-like" mineral match is classic.
-
Roasted Chicken with Herbs: The wine’s "fleshiness" handles white meat perfectly.
-
Goat Cheese: The tang of the cheese complements the wine's citrus profile.
