Bachelet-Monnot owns half of this clos. Boutière may well derive from old French for ‘end of the field’, which fits, considering this vineyard sits on the border of Santenay at the very end of the Clos Roussots vineyard. Clos de la Boutière has more clay, which can be felt in the added richness of the wine. It comes from a single parcel of 90-year-old, mass-selection vines that deliver ripeness and power. All the fruit was destemmed this vintage. As usual, you can expect more depth, texture and seduction than in the more linear La Fussière. Again, next-level Maranges and a terrific bargain for Premier Cru Burgundy. It’s 40% new oak and 30% whole bunch, which goes some way to explain its stunning, lifted aromatics and seductive texture.
