Such purity: texture suave and silky, sweet and 'obvious' in the most attractive way. Crunchy, juicy blackberry and cassis. Lovely harmonious texture and suavity. Finish still complex mix of little berry fruit. L&S (Dec 2009)

Bright ruby-red. Expressive, very ripe nose combines black cherry, wild herbs, leather, smoke and earth. Wonderfully sweet and silky but bright, with a creamy small-berry character to the intense flavors of black cherry, iron, dark chocolate and minerals. For all its density, this conveys a juicy quality and considerable elegance. Rating: 91-94 Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (Mar 2010)
Very pure and refined on the nose, with some lovely tertiary/animal fur accents developing with aeration, then later, blueberry and a touch of apricot puree. The palate is well balanced with fine tannins, sappy red-berried fruit, cohesive, hints of lime freshening the aftertaste. Very good length. 2011-2020. Rating: 89-91 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Feb 2010)
Bright crimson. Smudgy cherry fruit with real vitality. Punchy. Clean, if very slightly simple. 2012-2017 Rating: 16.5 Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Jan 2010)
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

Nose quite compact with black cherry, palate supple, then with fine tannins building - good weight and concentration. Tannic finale, but this is all in harmony, and it is very long.

Although it is low on the slope, Ronceret has lots of limestone and this comes across vividly - taut fruit, well-defined. The same rich body as the others, with lovely freshening acidity - like the village Volnay, this i...(read more)
