This and the Latricieres Chambertin are new arrivals this year for the domaine - and exciting ones! A wonderful nose. Inviting. Complexly aromatic. Floral and soft red fruits. Palate is tight and very focused. This remains tightly furled with nice bones from the clean-lined mineral grip. Dark fruit is just ripe with a good bite to it. There is an intensity that is super. Some chew for now - this will take some time to unfurl but will be awesome. Restrained and dense for now with powerful drive. Long, long, long. L&S (Oct 2018)

(from En Orveaux). Cool yet ripe aromas of spicy deeply pitched fruit, earth, game and a background touch of wood precede the impressively rich, sleek and tautly muscular flavors that brim with minerality on the firm, detailed and lingering finish that is also youthfully austere. There is a touch of wood evident but I suspect that it will be rapidly integrated with a few years of bottle age. Drinking range: 2029 - Rating: 93 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Apr 2019)

The 2017 Echézeaux Grand Cru offers mainly black fruit on the nose, wilted violets, and just a touch of baking powder, dominated by the 100% new oak at the moment. The palate is dense and grippy on the entry, quite firm and assertive, with a fine line of acidity but here, I find the wood tannins rather dominating the finish at the expense of fruit expression. Drinking range: 2023 - 2037 Rating: 89-91 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Jan 2019)

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
