Ripe and almost lush. Love the broad rich depth - a spicy complexity, aided by oak, no doubt, but mostly from the fruit. Pure, savoury, mouthwatering, concentrated and very long. Extremely impressive. Drinking range: 2018 - L&S (Nov 2015)

Bright, pale lemon-yellow. Very sexy aromas and flavors of lemon oil, white flowers, hazelnut and nutty oak: an essence of white Burgundy. Densely packed and precise, offering terrific cut and precision but also noteworthy pliancy of texture. Wonderfully balanced and long. This wine is always the ripest and highest in acidity, notes Boillot, who picked this estate fruit with 13% potential alcohol. The pH here is a very low 3.05 and the acidity is 5 grams per liter.

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
