Bolder from the off than the Puligny Mouchère tasted just beforehand.. Nicely pushing. Less highs and lows - really measured, great concentration and controlled flow.. Henri added some CO2 to the juice during the élevage and cooled the cellar to tame the exuberance in the wines. This is impressive. Another strong Corton in 2024. Drinking range: 2030 - 2035 L&S (Nov 2025)

The impression here is depth but it’s quite closed at first. Smells a little of smart oak. Deep, rich and embryonic. It’s very good but expensive, sadly now typical for burgundy. Chewy, intense, very long, incipient harmony and complexity. Drinking range: 2029 - 2039 Rating: 18 Julia Harding MW, www.JancisRobinson.com (Jan 2026)
Fresh mid lemon. A fine concentration of fresh stony soil, with a little barrel toast. Much more linear of course, though with adequate flesh on the bones. Definite intensity. Rating: 93-95 Jasper Morris - Inside Burgundy (Oct 2025)
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
