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 (96-98)
Mid lemon yellow. There is a slight reduction to the nose. All the weight appears on the palate with a gorgeously sensual deep white fruit, not heavy at all. White pepper. There is no sign of the reduction on the palate. An exceptional example with more tension at the back, great potential for the long term. Guillaume Boillot has dialled down to 50% new wood here and that is plenty. Tasted: 10/1/2021Henri Boillot Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru 2020 (3x75cl)
Inc. TAX: €2,781.46 -
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (87-89)
No new wood for the generic Bourgogne. Pale lemon and lime, slight sandalwood to the nose. Pure and crisp with a lemon and salty finish, excellent density a little barrel toast. Long finish. This Bourgogne Chardonnay shows typical Boillot purity and precision. Tasted: 10/1/2021Henri Boillot Bourgogne Blanc 2020 (6x75cl)
Inc. TAX: €321.62 -
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (94-96)
Two suppliers covering both terroirs. Ultra-intense imperial purple. There is a seductive first wave of the bouquet which I find each year here and love every time. Super ripe in 2020 with a little touch of minerals graphite behind. This dances on the palate, not as heavy as the start would suggest, slightly drier tannins, but the balance still works. Tasted: 10/1/2021Henri Boillot Chambertin Grand Cru 2020 (6x75cl)

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (94-97)
From purchased fruit. Clear pale colour. Clean pure white fruit and flowers with a strong backbone. Not the flesh of the Bâtard of course. Fine and chiselled, with a stony touch and some wood at the back. Tasted: 10/1/2021Henri Boillot Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru 2020 (3x75cl)
Inc. TAX: €3,471.61 -
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (93-96)
Purchased grapes, from all three communes of the appellation. Mid lemon yellow colour, a tight nose, harder to assess because served after the Montrachet. Very intense, backward, quite ripe, and the necessary stones do appear in due course, along with the weighty yellow fruit. Tasted: 10/1/2021Henri Boillot Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru 2020 (3x75cl)
Inc. TAX: €1,347.41 -
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (96-99)
1 x 350 litre barrel. Not especially deep in colour. The 2020 Montrachet has a fascinatingly complex nose, high toned, some bananas, but all the fruits pass across the nostrils. There is a touch of honey, with spring and summer flowers. Another league of intensity over and above Bâtard, yellower fruit overall, like a Bâtard x Folatières cross with yet more concentration. Oof! Tasted: 10/1/2021Henri Boillot Montrachet Grand Cru 2020 (6x75cl)
Inc. TAX: €12,883.04
