More pep and a frisson more energy and bounce than the Poruzots. Yet the middle is more open and laden with warm, almost grilled pineapple and crisper apple notes. Great spice too - but then a fine taut line of acidity is succulent and mouth-watering. A really complex and interesting expression, delicious. L&S (Oct 2018)

There is a whiff of natural exoticism to the strikingly elegant, wafting and overtly floral and spiced tea aromas of mostly white orchard fruit. The cool, precise and restrained flavors possess a wonderfully refined mouth feel while displaying an abundance of minerality on the bitter lemon-inflected, balanced and sneaky long finish. This stunningly good effort is an exercise is refinement and class. Drinking range: 2027 - Rating: 94 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Jun 2019)
Racy and lightly smoky. Good drive and balance which delivers great pleasure while promising considerable development. Drinking range: 2020 - 2028 Rating: 16.5+ Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Jan 2019)
The 2017 Meursault 1er Cru Genevrières is another of the many highlights in this superlative portfolio, unfurling in the glass with aromas of green apple, citrus oil, spring blossom and oatmeal. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, layered and complete, with impressive concentration and depth at the core, ripe but vibrant acids and a stony, precise finish. Rating: 92-94 William Kelley, The Wine Advocate (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
