Super-pure and a very taut wine for a Combettes. Chiselled rock. Fine and tight. For Henri this is the most delicate of the Puligny premier Crus. L&S (Dec 2012)

The 2011 Puligny-Montrachet Les Combettes is weightless, gracious and impeccable. Soft, floral notes dominate, giving the wine much of its understated, polished personality. A bright, caressing finish rounds things out nicely in this open, approachable Puligny. Rating: 94 Antonio Galloni, www.vinous.com (Nov 2013)

Pale yellow-green. Cool aromas of lemon, lime, menthol and coriander. Solidly built but a bit youthfully angular, with brisk acidity giving a firm edge to the saline lemon and lime flavors. This very dry white Burgundy showed a somewhat silkier texture with 24 hours in the recorked bottle. Needs time. Rating: 90 Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (Sept 2013)

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
