Henri Boillot

The Boillot family established themselves in the region in 1885, and Henri represents the fifth winemaking generation, with his son now overseeing the production of the reds.
The winery is located on the “other” side of the RN74 in an estate that includes the Damy cooperage. This impressive facility affords Henri far more space then if he were couched in some mediaeval maison in one of the villages, which is mandatory when you have such an all-embracing portfolio of wines.
Henri Boillot produces domaine and negociant wines from Burgandy’s most renowned growing areas. Henri is a 5th generation vigneron in the Cote d’Or. Wines of Maison Henri Boillot are produced in a cellar in Meursault and are vibrant and full of character.

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (94-96)
The holding is right in the middle of Bâtard-Montrachet, with rows all the way up and down. Mid yellow. A weighty punchy bouquet, not quite so fine. Massive on the palate and the fruit takes on a whiter, not over ripe configuration, with excellent thread of acidity. Still an absolute baby but will certainly achieve its grand cru status. Drink from 2027-2035. Tasted: October 2022Henri Boillot Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru 2021 (3x75cl)
€2,094 - €2,721

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (87-88)
Just their own vines. Mid yellow, quite robust nose, plenty of fruit if not quite the length of the great years, fresh acidity, zesty and makes one salivate. Still one of the best Bourgogne Blancs around. Drink from 2024-2026. Tasted: October 2022Henri Boillot Bourgogne Blanc 2021 (6x75cl)

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (93-95)
In 2021 the Boillot Corton-Charlemagne is all from Aloxe and not the three communes. Mid lemon yellow. The nose has some style, flesh and floral and potentially stony. More wood is showing at the back but there is so much wine still to come out. Lemon juice intensity at the back. Very long again Drink from 2027-2035. Tasted: October 2022 -

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (88-90)
Mostly from their own vines and includes some Goutte d’Or this year. Pale to mid lemon yellow. A certain weight on the nose, more than elegance. More classic on the palate with a depth of pear and ripe apple fruit, medium plus length and a good structure for the future. Drink from 2025-2028.

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (95-97)
Beeswax and lime blossom, especially the latter, which Guillaume finds typical of Montrachet. The Montrachet shows both class and intensity over and above the Bâtard as indeed should be the case. Brilliantly racy despite the intensity. This year there is one 228 litre barrel instead of the usual 350, and made up in zebra fashion, half new wood with alternate dowels. Drink from 2030-2040.

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (92-94)
Guillaume has pulled out the youngest vines, for rootstock reasons. Most of the old vines fortunately are on 3309C. But badly frosted, below 10 hl/ha. A little more yellow in the colour, a riper fruit, which then comes back to its roots on the palate. Sappy, Guillaume says, while there is a generosity in the mouth which has completely retained its balance. Very persistent. Drink from 2026-2032. Tasted: October 2022 -

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (90-92)
Attractive pale yellow. the nose is rather fine too, very classic. Clean crisp lifted with a lovely aftertaste which really lingers. White fruit with enough of the flowers and just a little lime citrus to finish. Drink from 2025-2029. Tasted: October 2022Henri Boillot Puligny-Montrachet 2021 (6x75cl)
