"In the spring of 2016, Louis Boillot purchased a parcel in Fleurie, but it was wiped out by hail in the vintage and it will not be until 2017 that we see the first bottling from this new plot of vines. In 2015, Monsieur Boillot picked his Moulin-à-Vent parcels on August 26th and 27th, with the “Vieilles Vignes” bottling offering up a deep and very refined bouquet of cassis, black cherries, gamebird, granite and a topnote of currant leaf. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied, long and very suave on the attack, with a fine core, ripe, fine-grained tannins and excellent length and grip on the very well-balanced and nascently complex finish. This will be excellent, but will want a few years’ worth of bottle age."
