Very pure yellow gold with green edges. Very fat and rich, but within that it has pure, crystalline mineral focus. Lovely mix of richness, volume and this driven minerality which makes it very long. L&S (Dec 2011)

The 2010 Savigny-les-Beaune Les Vergelesses is powerful, tightly wound and totally beautiful. White flowers wrap around the impressive finish. Rating: 90 Antonio Galloni, www.vinous.com (Nov 2013)
A completely different nose presents itself as here the aromatic profile is much earthier and less elegant though the straw, citrus and stone aromas are more complex. The solidly voluminous, intense and energetic flavors offer good depth and fine balance on the attractively persistent finish. Good juice and a classically styled Vergelesses blanc. 2015+ Rating: 90 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
