Rich yellow gold, so that the nose surprises by its taut minerality. Richness builds with subtle hints of white honey. Perfect balance and succulent texture. Very hard not to swallow. Long with tantalising pear and cirtus juice. L&S (Dec 2011)

Knockout perfume of soft citrus fruits, menthol, wet stone and white truffle. Densely packed, saline and seamless; deceptively approachable today owing to its sheer richness and depth of flavor and its very long, sweet aftertaste. But this utterly primary wine has the stuffing for aging. Boillot recommends drinking it in the next year or so or holding it for seven or eight years; he's convinced the wine will be totally closed in two years. Rating: 94 Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (Sept 2012)
A hint of residual SO2 doesn’t seriously detract from the ever-so-mildly exotic floral, pear and white peach aromas that are followed by rich and mineral-inflected medium-bodied flavors that possess excellent midpalate concentration and mouth coating extract. The firm acid spine shapes and supports the driving finish that also displays that Chablis-like saline character. In a word, terrific. 2017+ Rating: 93 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Jun 2012)
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
