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. L&S (Dec 2010)

The nose has some herbal vegetal taints that tend to override the fruit. There is more depth of fruit on the palate but towards the back the herbal character shows itself rather letting down the finish. 2012-16 Rating: 88 Derek Smedley MW, www.dereksmedleymw.co.uk (Dec 2013)

Light yellow-tinged straw color. Even more Burgundian funk here, and we love it! There are notes that suggest horses, eggs and rotting peaches. There's some toasty oak as well, with some sulfur. Follows through in a similar fashion on the palate, with flavors of fermented egg yolks. It's a very rich wine, hugely proportioned, with a forest of oak. Some find the wood too dominant, but most participants consider #5 to be a great young Burgundy. Rating: 94+ Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (Nov 2013)

The 2009 Puligny-Montrachet Clos de la Mouchere is hugely impressive. It bursts from the glass with layers of mineral-infused finish, showing tremendous energy and focus. Words can only fail in capturing the sheer beauty and completeness of the wine. The striking, pointed finish leaves a lasting impression. Rating: 94 Antonio Galloni, www.vinous.com (Nov 2013)

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
