Good deep ruby-red. Wild black fruits, leather and anise on the expressive nose. Big, supple and rich but with enough acidity to give shape to the very ripe black fruit and chocolate flavors. Almost outsized for the vineyard and vintage. Some animal nuances add interest. Rating: 87-90 Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (Mar 2010)

This has a beautiful bouquet, supremely well defined with raspberry, wild strawberry, Morello and a touch of apricot. Very precise. The palate is medium-bodied, fine tannins, taut at the moment with great verticality, the finish focused with almost Barolo in style. Lovely. 2011-2020 Rating: 89-91 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Feb 2010)
Some interesting depth to this. Bone dry and earthy. Quite open and solid. 2011-2016 Rating: 16.5 Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Jan 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

Pinot Noir.
Immediate sense of class, this wine has a grace to it. Fatness and volume, richly full of fruit but also richly tannic. Very full. Superb richness. Wait fifteen or twenty years and serve with a leg of lamb or venison.
