First made as a single parcel in 2010, La Côte comes from the majestic La Grande Côte vineyard (sometimes referred to as La Côte d’Amigny), a south/southeast-facing hillside on the outskirts of Chavignol. La Côte has quickly become one of the heavyweights of Boulay’s range. This is the domaine’s coolest terroir and the last to be picked. The site’s pure Kimmeridgian limestone soils and the late picking date deliver density and alluring precision on the palate. Vinified and aged in three- and four-year-old barrels, the terroir gives a more expressive style than Monts-Damnés, yet one that still bristles with tension and mineral notes.
If the vines are still relatively young by this domaine’s standards (a good 20 years all the same), they nevertheless express the mineral essence of this limestone terroir with incredible intensity. This year's tightest and most overtly mineral so far opens with a verdant palette of sweet lime and nettle alongside crystalline fruit aromas. The palate is super filigreed and focused, driven by forceful acidity and lovely purity, stretching to a super long, candied grapefruit, salt-licked finish. It has everything to go toe-to-toe with a top Premier Cru Burgundy.
