Again some very green reflections. Wonderful harmony on the nose - great purity of aroma, and on the palate it is fine, collected and composed - seems to know exactly where it's going. Complete, with lovely balance, perfect Puligny. Drinking range: 2018 - L&S (Nov 2015)

(Boillot's four-hectare monopole within Les Perrières features a range of soil types; he takes two days to pick this fruit, assembling his batches at the very beginning): Knockout nose combines ripe stone fruits, lemon, lime, smoky minerals, clove and marzipan. Sappy and thick, with the brisk lemon and lime fruit element currently dominated by soil-driven saline minerality. This very backward, salty wine boasts terrific breadth and more than enough extract to buffer its five grams of acidity. Splendid.

Edgy, very aromatic, nasal-decongestant-like. Solid start to the palate though less seductive than the J M Boillot version used to be. Just a tad stolid. Drinking range: 2018 - 2022 Rating: 16.5- Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Jan 2016)

The 2014 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos de la Mouchère has a taut and linear, but intense bouquet with attractive apple blossom, flint and orange zest aromas that open with a sense of confidence in the glass. The palate is well balanced with quite a piercing citric entry. There is very good weight in the mouth here, feisty and spicy with a dab of fresh ginger perking up the finish. Give this a couple of years and you should have a fine Puligny-Montrachet. Drinking range: 2018 - 2028 Rating: 91 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Jan 2016)

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
