Tasting Notes
Purchased grapes, as Guillaume is keen to work with higher altitude vines. 25% new wood, the rest one year old. Lighter colour, with a fresher uphill nose. Excellent energy. Very stylish, energetic wine which shows its origins. - JASPER MORRIS, INSIDE BURGUNDY
Domaine Henri Boillot represents the success that is born of hard work and determination. The Domaine, led by Henri Boillot himself, encompasses fifteen hectares of some of Burgundy’s top terroirs* in Puligny-Montrachet (including the famous 1er Cru monopole Clos de la Mouchère), Meursault, Beaune, Pommard, Volnay, Grand Cru Batard-Montrachet and Clos Vougeot. Henri’s intimate understanding of Burgundy coupled with his dedicated approach gives birth to highly sophisticated wines with global appeal.
Since 2006, Henri’s son Guillaume, the 6th generation of the family, has joined him, demonstrating the same work ethic, passion and love for great wines. Combining their distinct personalities, father and son work together on the domain. Both making great wines: Henri the whites, Guillaume the reds. Based in Meursault, Domaine Henri Boillot is strategically placed between Puligny-Montrachet and Volnay, the two appellations that have become its specialty. The domain has set itself a firm objective: to express, through its wines, the essence of the vines and their distinctive climates.
The Domaine dates back to 1885 and was previously called Domaine Jean Boillot, after Henri’s father. In 1996, Henri created Maison Henri Boillot and extended his range of appellations whilst dedicating himself to buying grapes only from the very best growers. It goes without saying that Henri would never jeopardise the image of his stellar Domaine. The Maison wines, therefore, are subject to the same care and attention to detail as the Domaine ensuring there is no difference in quality between the two. This is a strength that propelled Henri Boillot to be one of the most talented winemakers of his generation. In 2005 Henri bought his Father’s Domaine and since then, all the wines have been labelled either Domaine Henri Boillot or Henri Boillot and have shared the same label.
