The 2011 Puligny-Montrachet is a big, boisterous wine. There is plenty of depth and intensity, but the style is a bit obvious relative to Boillot's very finest village-level offerings. Apricots, pear eau de vie, hazelnuts and pears linger on the finish. The Puligny includes a portion of fruit from the premier cru Les Enseignières.

Pals straw-yellow. Spicy aromas of musky stone fruits, smoke and noble herbs, plus a whiff of pepper. Juicy, spicy and intense if a bit reduced, showing moderate complexity to its white peach and spice flavors. In a classically dry style.

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
