More toast here on the nose than the Pulignys. This is a lot more powerful and nutty. The citrus is less obvious and has a restrained, tighter feel. Showing wonderfully bright angles, this wine is however, a bit heavier-going and has somewhat less zip and pow... as you'd expect with Meursault. Finishes with a little lift. Good. Broader yes, but still nicely poised. L&S (Oct 2017)

(exclusively from the top portion in 2016 as the lower vines were badly frosted). Touches of matchstick and petrol add breadth to the pear, apple and, interestingly, pink grapefruit-suffused aromas. The rich and highly energetic medium-bodied flavors flash good punch and a taut muscularity before culminating in a beautifully persistent and bone dry finish. At least moderate patience required. Drinking range: 2024 - Rating: 92 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Jun 2018)
(from an "almost normal" crop of 40 hectoliters per hectare, according to Boillot): Bright yellow. Ripe, musky stone fruits, smoked meat and a strong oak element on the nose (the blend will be 40% new oak). Fat, thick and sweet but with penetrating acidity giving the wine almost painful cut. Hints of flowers and minerals in the middle palate. This wine boasts an impressive thickness but it's almost too salty to be fun, at least in the early going. Rating: 89-92 Stephen Tanzer, www.vinousmedia.com (Sept 2017)
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
