Domaine Henri Boillot
Domaine Henri Boillot is now quite simply one of the very top domaines of the Côte de Beaune, in red and white alike. Henri, or 'Kiki' as he is known, is rightly proud of what he has achieved. Henri has had his son Guillaume working on the domaine in the vines for the past five years, and now he is beginning to take his place in the cellar too.

2007 SAVIGNY LES BEAUNE 1er Cru Lavières Domaine Henri Boillot
Côte d'Or Burgundy France
Deep colour. Lovely dry intensity. Not at all the sweet and simple of some in this vintage - pure Pinot, it could be sweeter, but one might miss its direct, 'straight' serious handsomeness.

2006 SAVIGNY LES BEAUNE Blanc 1er Cru Vergelesses Domaine Henri Boillot
Côte d'Or Burgundy France
Floral and fresh on the nose, with a lightness and brightness of expression despite its considerable fullness. Succulent balance, white currants and greengages, acidity giving excellent length.

2007 SAVIGNY LES BEAUNE Blanc 1er Cru Vergelesses Domaine Henri Boillot
Côte d'Or Burgundy France
Lovely texture and brightness, and a hint of something almost butterscotchy. Pure and fine.

2006 VOLNAY 1er Cru Chevrets Domaine Henri Boillot
Côte d'Or Burgundy France
Rich, a good balance of all the virtues of Volnay with an extra plumpness. Pleasingly round plummy fruit, fine sweet-tasting tannins.

2006 VOLNAY 1er Cru Caillerets Domaine Henri Boillot
Côte d'Or Burgundy France
Firm and 'aërien', classy, silky fruit. Drive and elegance, much more about minerals than fruit, lifted, floral and delicate too.

2007 VOLNAY Clos de la Rougeotte Domaine Henri Boillot
Côte d'Or Burgundy France
Deep colour, plum fruit on nose, deep and dark and firm. Very dark expression, not much that is open and smiling, but no doubting its vinosity or seriousness.

2009 PULIGNY MONTRACHET 1er Cru Clos de la Mouchère Domaine Henri Boillot
Côte d'Or Burgundy France
Even deeper colour than the Pucelles. Ripe, rich, all with great purity. A subtle touch of sweetness, but tantalisingly, evanescent. Lovely mineral middle, lots of volume and roundness. 'Buttery' says Guillaume, but it is a very subtle richness, and whistle clean.

2008 PULIGNY MONTRACHET 1er Cru Clos de la Mouchère Domaine Henri Boillot
Côte d'Or Burgundy France
More closed on the nose than the village Puligny, it seems to smell of rock crystal. An extraordinary driven mineral purity which makes one think of a long future. Possibly the most mineral vintage of this wine I have ever tried, and yet it is still inviting, succulent.

2010 PULIGNY MONTRACHET 1er Cru Clos de la Mouchère Domaine Henri Boillot
Côte d'Or Burgundy France
Bright deep yellow-gold. Rich, with quite distinct oaky notes at this stage. Brightly airy mineral middle floats above the oak and body. True class. Very long. Superb stuff.
