The Boursot family has grown grapes in Chambolle-Musigny since 1550. With a viticultural history older than most countries, the Boursots know their terroir inside and out. The current generation, brothers Romaric and Romault Boursot, are only the second to bottle their own wine instead of selling to a local negociant.
Jasper Morris MW writes that “the winemaking has been sharpened up by the current generation;” Neal Martin of Vinous finds the wines “superb” and writes of “a promising future.” Each visit we find wines that have gained class, polish, and real depth. Their 2021s, from a cooler, less intense vintage, are already drinking beautifully.
Boursot’s 2021 Chambolle-Musigny Nazoires is terrific. The nose is a blend of dark rugged woodsiness and silky Chambolle charm. It’s deep and pretty with classic Boursot intensity, softened by elegant terroir and a bit of time in amphora. Look for cassis, violets, and wild raspberries in the nose, with cherries, leather, and stones in the mouth.
