Information
About the producer

Domaine Henri Boillot, in Volnay, has become, amongst others, a specialty of Puligny-Montrachet. For several generations (since 1885 precisely), in the southern part of the Côte de Beaune, this discreet but renowned 15-hectare domaine, well known by connoisseurs, has vinified and matured a remarkable palette of prestigious wines on the largest terroirs. Its classy, vigorous and masterfully harmonious grand crus of the Côte de Beaune have particularly established its reputation. Seven hectares of white wine is distributed among the Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru (Les Perrières, Les Pucelles, Clos de La Mouchère), Meursault Premier Cru Les Genevrières and Savigny-les-Beaune Premier Cru Les Vergelesses. Today, it is the son Henri who has taken over the reins of the family vineyard, and in 1996 he added a trading business, exclusively for whites, and in which each premier cru or grand cru is produced by a single supplier in order to preserve the authenticity of the terroir. The whites, generally early, improve superbly over four to five years. This is thanks to the rigorous and constant ploughing of the vines in a sustainable manner (8 to 10 times a year), as well as the fact that no herbicides are used, yields are limited (40hl / ha on average) and harvesting is manual and conducted as late as possible. Note that in 2005 the domaine unified its name when Henri Boillot bought out Jean Boillot.

About the wine

Located in Volnay, Domaine Henri Boillot has made - among other things - a specialty of Puligny-Montrachet. In the southern part of the Côte de Beaune, over 15 hectares, this discrete but famous domain, well known for amateur purposes, for several generations (since 1885 more precisely) has produced and aged a remarkable palette of prestigious crus on the largest terroirs. Its grands crus from the Côte de Beaune in particular, distinguished, vigorous and masterfully harmonious, have built up its reputation. Seven hectares of white wines divided between the Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru (Les Perrières, Les Pucelles, Clos de La Mouchère), Meursault Premier Cru Les Genevrières and Savigny-les-Beaune Premier Cru Les Vergelesses. Today it is the son Henri who has taken over the reins of the family vineyard and also the trading business created in 1996 for exclusively white wines and whereby each premier cru or grand cru is produced by a single supplier in order to preserve the authenticity of the terroir. The whites, generally early, improve superbly over four to five years. This is due to the rigorous and constant work in sustainable agriculture with the vines being ploughed (8 to 10 times a year), the choice of working without the use of herbicides, limited yields (40hl/ha on average) and manual harvesting as late as possible. Note that in 2005 the domain unified its name with the Henri Boillot’s purchase of Jean Boillot.
Henri Boillot's Meursault is vinified in 350-litre barrels, with native yeasts; the malolactic fermentations are carried out entirely, then the wine is aged in barrels for 12 months. The result is a wine with hints of honey and linden, as well as slightly buttery tints. On the palate, the wine is powerful and creamy, unfurling buttery flavours and fresh hazelnut. The finish provides good salinity, freshness, and lingers beautifully.
