Very pure and fine nose still a little gassy and reductive, but this has fantastic texture. Pure, black fruit, blackberries and even a touch of sloe. L&S (Dec 2009)

A brooding, serious and presently grudging nose of black cherry, dark berries and floral hints gives way to notably finer and more sophisticated flavors that are round yet detailed with a relatively accessible mouth feel that tightens up on the tangy finish where a touch of wood surfaces. Drinking range: 2015 - Rating: 88 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Apr 2010)
Bright ruby-red. Very ripe aromas of black raspberry, meat and smoky oak. Silky and thick but not heavy, with firm acidity and solid minerality giving definition to the black cherry fruit. Finishes with firm but ripe tannins. Rating: 89-92 Josh Raynolds, Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (Mar 2010)
Domaine Henri Boillot
A domaine which dates to 1885, but which began properly in the early years of the 20th century under the current Henri's grandfather (also Henri). His son, Jean, was the one who really developed it. Henri arrived in 1975 and worked his way up, becoming the winemaker. In 2000 he began the building of the new winery at the bottom of Meursault, and he then bought out his brother and sister to keep the domaine as one, renaming it from 'Domaine Jean Boillot' to 'Domaine Henri Boillot' to avoid confusion with his brother Jean-Marc's domaine.
The Domaine totals around 14 hectares, with roughly equal surfaces of red and white, and of which just under 4ha is the Monopole vineyard of Clos de la Mouchère, a walled enclave within the premier Cru Puligny Perrières. The 2017 vintage saw the arrival of two new parcels of Grand Cru red, in Échezeaux and Latricières Chambertin

This did not freeze - and Joël reckons it has better balance as a result. It's certainly lively and fresh with a bit of lift and also juicier. A bit of wood evident, but that will be absorbed. Nice fresh acidity for...(read more)
