Vineyard Chevrets

Chevrets is an 'island' in Les Caillerets, with gravelly red soil. Dark, damson and dry black character, still with an undertow of tannin and salinity. Velvet, but the tannins are elegant and silky, just pulling out the finish. L&S (Dec 2012)

Boillot's 2011 Volnay Les Chevrets hits the palate with an array of dark stone fruits, savory herbs, leather and asphalt. The tannins are a bit rough around the edges at this stage, which gives the Chevrets and element of wildness that is not shared by most of the wines in the range. It will be interesting to see if time in bottle helps smooth things out. Drinking range: 2016 - 2026 Rating: 87-89 Antonio Galloni, www.vinous.com (Mar 2014)

Good bright red-ruby color. Dark fruits, licorice and a whiff of black pepper on the nose. Juicy, peppery and intense; classically dry but not hard. Very firm, minerally 2011 with brisk acidity. The dusty tannins avoid coming off as hard but call for patience. Rating: 90 Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (Mar 2014)

(from 25+ year old vines). A deft touch of wood sets off the notably ripe mix of cassis and various dark berries that elegantly introduces the cool, pure and energetic flavors that seemed fashioned from nothing but silk and satin, all wrapped in a delicate, refined and beautifully balanced finish. This is a classic Chevret of matchless finesse. 2018+ Rating: 91 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Apr 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
