2011 Henri Boillot, Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru 6x75cl

Henri Boillot: Burgundian Brilliance From A Master Craftsman

Based in Meursault, Henri Boillot is one of the Côte de Beaune’s most respected winemakers. Henri Boillot consolidated the family vineyards under a single label and established a state-of-the-art winemaking facility, and has an uncompromising focus on quality across a diverse portfolio that includes both estate-grown fruit and meticulously sourced négociant parcels from Burgundy’s finest terroirs.

Chiselled Precision in White Burgundy

The white wines of Henri Boillot are celebrated for their clarity, driving energy, and structural definition. While the domaine handles fruit from legendary Grand Cru sites like Bâtard-Montrachet and Corton-Charlemagne, its spiritual heart lies in Puligny-Montrachet. The crown jewel of the estate is the four-hectare monopole, Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru Clos de la Mouchère. To preserve the site-specific minerality and vibrant acidity of these Chardonnays, the winemaking utilises whole-cluster pressing, native yeasts, and an early harvest strategy. Ageing takes place predominantly in larger 350-litre oak barrels rather than standard barriques, a technique that reduces wood contact and prevents the fruit from becoming overshadowed by oak character.

The result is wines that are tensile, pure and stunningly put together. Taste a bottle with Henri Boillot on the label, and you are tasting some of the best that contemporary Burgundy has to offer.
