More richness than the village wine. Notes of honey, ripe pear, red apple, citrus and toasted nuts. Great structure on the palate. This a big and powerful wine but full of energy too. Long finish. Drinking range: 2024 - 2033 L&S (Nov 2021)

A naturally exotic nose offers up hints of freshly sliced ginger, jasmine tea, pear and plenty of floral elements. The more subtle and notably finer medium weight flavors exude a light minerality on the caressing and seductive finish that is lemony, bone-dry and sneaky long finale. This is compact and serious, and I would suggest allowing this a minimum of 5 years of cellaring first. 94/2030+ Drinking range: 2030 - Rating: 94 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Jun 2022)
Fullish yellow, with a heady, honeyed richness. A little touch of bacon fat, more flesh in the mouth than I find ideal, then tightens up at the finish. Pears not peaches. Young vines here, the first to be picked, and they may have caught the sun just a fraction. Tasted: 10/1/2021 Rating: 90-93 Jasper Morris - Inside Burgundy (Dec 2021)
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
