Etienne Boileau 1er Cru Chablis 'Montée de Tonnerre' 2011 (#8-19) $27.50

A great terroir in Burgundy, a great grape (Chardonnay) and a great vintage from a great but little-known winery.  Grapes are  grown in about 5 acres.  Pale yellow in color with green reflections, the nose presents floral aromas with mineral hints developing into the taste of ripe pears in the mouth.  An extremely long finish with hints of black pepper.  This wine is a consistent Gold Medal winner in competitive tastings in Burgundy. 

Grape: 100% Chardonnay

Pairings: Asian cuisine, fish dishes, shellfish and white meats.

Etienne Boileau Chablis Grand Cru 'Bougros' 2010 (#8-20) $60.00

This plot of Chablis Grand Cru Bougros was planted in 1979 for a surface of 0.50 ha. The grape variety Chardonnay grafted on 41B produces lots of small grapes which mature well. These grapes keep good acidity which allows the wine to be well balanced with a good aging potential (the best is between 6 and 10 years).

Vinification is mostly in stainless steel tanks, sometimes in oak barrels with a maturing on the lees and bottling in September of the following year.  At the moment 12 hectoliters are bottling each year, which represent around 1600 bottles.

Grape: 100% Chardonnay

Pairings: Asian cuisine, fish dishes, shellfish and white meats.
