2008 Domaine Henri Boillot Meursault 1er Cru Genevrières

“There is a vaguely exotic character to the superbly elegant nose of white flower, apricot and delicately spiced pear that is in keeping with the cool, precise, intense and stony medium-bodied flavors brimming with both extract and a natural sweetness before finishing with an exceptionally pure and lengthy finale. A classic, and altogether gorgeous, example of a fine Genevrières.”  Burghound,  June 2010

2008 Domaine Henri Boillot Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos de la Mouchère
94, Burghound; 93-95 Stephen Tanzer

“The nose is a bit more complex than that of the "straight" Perrières with a similar nose that displays just a bit more minerality but also notably more tension and punch on the palate staining and highly textured medium-bodied flavors. The hugely long finish fans out like a peacock's tail and this delivers grand cru quality.”  Burghound, June 2010

2008 Domaine Henri Boillot Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Pucelles
93, Burghound

“A broad yet nuanced nose features notes of honeysuckle, lime peel and acacia blossom that serves as a beguiling introduction for the exceptionally fresh and refined flavors that possess a sophisticated mouth feel and as much depth as the nose. This is a strikingly stylish and balanced effort that is seriously long.” Burghound, June 2010

2008 Maison Henri Boillot Meursault 1er Cru Charmes
92, Burghound; 91-94 Stephen Tanzer

“[E]legant with an ultra pure nose of apricot, peach, lemon and toasted nuts that slides seamlessly into supple and very seductively textured medium-bodied flavors brimming with dry extract that really coats the mouth on the almost painfully intense finish. This is exceptionally well-balanced and will age though the extract is such that it will be enjoyable young.”  Burghound, June 2010

2008 Maison Henri Boillot Meursault 1er Cru Les Perrières
93, Burghound; 90-93 Stephen Tanzer

“This is the most elegant wine to this point with a strikingly perfumed nose of spiced pear, wet stone and rose petals that gives way to minerally and focused middle weight flavors that are crystalline in their purity, all wrapped in a seriously deep and long finish… a classic example of the appellation.”  Burghound, June 2010

2008 Maison Henri Boillot Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru
96, Burghound; 92-95, Stephen Tanzer

“Hints of oak toast add nuance to the green apple, lime and classic dried white flower aromas that precede the well-muscled, firm and impressively broad-shouldered flavors that are clean, dry and ultra intense with real drive on the penetrating and intensely mineral-suffused finish that delivers stunning length . . . In sum, part of why I like this so much is its sense of completeness.”  Burghound, June 2010

2008 Domaine Henri Boillot Volnay Les Chevrets 1er Cru
91-94, Stephen Tanzer

“Bright ruby-red. Expressive, very ripe nose combines black cherry, wild herbs, leather, smoke and earth. Wonderfully sweet and silky but bright, with a creamy small-berry character to the intense flavors of black cherry, iron, dark chocolate and minerals. For all its density, this conveys a juicy quality and considerable elegance.”  Stephen Tanzer, Int’l. Wine Cellar, March/April 2010    

2008 Domaine Henri Boillot Volnay Les Caillerets 1er Cru
92-95, Stephen Tanzer; 90, Burghound

“Deep red-ruby. Knockout nose combines black raspberry, licorice, smoky minerality and complex earth tones. Superripe, rich and full but suave, with ripe acidity framing the complex flavors of raspberry, game, leather and earth. This spreads out insidiously to saturate the entire palate. Finishes complex and extremely long. Wow!”   Stephen Tanzer, Int’l. Wine Cellar, March/April 2010    

2006 Domaine Henri Boillot Volnay Les Chevrets 1er Cru  (375ml)
91, Burghound

"A beautifully expressive nose of spicy extract of wild red berry and pinot fruit precedes suave, pure and seductive medium-bodied flavors that are classic Volnay in style and character with lovely intensity and excellent length. I particularly like the quality of the underlying material here and the ripe and velvety tannins are completely buffered by the natural sap."  Burghound, April 2008

2008 Maison Henri Boillot Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru
94-96, Neal Martin; 92, Burghound

"This has a gorgeous bouquet that leaps from the glass: raspberry, wild strawberry, crushed stones, limestone and a touch of lemon zest. It actually has the purity of a top Leroy. The palate is medium-bodied with supremely fine tannins, beautiful balance, feminine with wonderful purity and delicacy, yet the finish is suave, sensuous and powerful. Irresistible… " Wine Journal, Neal Martin, January 2010

2008 Maison Henri Boillot Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru
91, Burghound; 92-94 Stephen Tanzer

“A brooding yet still pretty nose of dark pinot fruit cut with ample amounts of earth and underbrush nuances, both of which can also be found on the rich and full-bodied flavors that are supple yet quite serious while culminating in a dusty and moderately structured finish that delivers excellent length.”  Burghound, April 2010

 



2008 Maison Henri Boillot Chambertin Grand Cru
93-96, Stephen Tanzer; (92?), Burghound

"Minerals, iron and crushed stone dominate the nose. Silky and dense on entry, then thick and sweet in the middle, with powerful minerality giving the wine outstanding energy and perfume. " Stephen Tanzer, Int’l. Wine Cellar, March/April 2010
