Wow, such minerality, pure lifted elegance, floaty and almost spiritual. Wonderful. Full of impossible-to-define fruit flavour and with an unbelievable finish. L&S (Dec 2009)

Deep red-ruby. Knockout nose combines black raspberry, licorice, smoky minerality and complex earth tones. Superripe, rich and full but suave, with ripe acidity framing the complex flavors of raspberry, game, leather and earth. This spreads out insidiously to saturate the entire palate. Finishes complex and extremely long. Wow! Rating: 92-95 Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (Mar 2010)

The nose is a little more generous than the Chevrets: juicy redcurrant, raspberry and cherry, with some subtle honeyed aromas developing with a few swirls of the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy, saturated tannins, redcurrant, cranberry, raspberry, firm and quite sinewy towards the finish with great length. Very fine. 2011-2022+. Rating: 90-92 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Feb 2010)

Unexpectedly light –though I suppose that’s the vineyard. Lively and easy. Open. Correct. Sinewy. 2012-2018 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

80% whole bunch. Bright ruby, this moves slowly in the glass, telling of it's richness. The palate is searingly precise and yet enveloped in thick fat texture. It's a lively, energetic combination. Floating and fresh wit...(read more)
