| | | 2016 Henri Boillot Bourgogne Blanc $384 case
Who needs premier cru?! This was out of this world classy juice!
2016 Henri Boillot Meursault Premier Cru Les Charmes $98 bottle
91-94 Points Vinous “Full yellow. Conveys a light touch to its aromas and flavors of musky yellow fruits, spices and minerals. At once salty and sweet, with perfectly integrated acidity giving the silky mid-palate lovely lift. Finishes with excellent length and salty grip. Rather 2014-like in style but with a bit more gras--and less austere at the outset.”
2016 Henri Boillot Puligny Montrachet Premier Cru Clos de la Mouchère $125 bottle
***A monopole inside of Perrieres
93-95 Points Vinous “Bright light-medium yellow. Utterly pure scents of stone fruits, apricot, nuts and honeysuckle. Rich, deep, silky and moderately saline but also powerful and backward, displaying terrific precision and purity in the mouth. A superb, classic Clos de la Mouchère: utterly plush and seamless without being heavy or over the top.”
2012 Henri Boillot Meursault Premier Cru Les Poruzots $95 bottle
Still a baby today and a personal favorite of Henri.
92-94 Antonio Galloni “The 2012 Meursault Les Poruzots is rich, textured and voluptuous for this site. Honey, chamomile and almonds add complexity to a beautifully layered, expressive Poruzots endowed with gorgeous depth. The flavors are ripe, succulent and generous throughout.”
2016 Henri Boillot Volnay $65 bottle
Classic, bright and energetic Volnay with great definition.
2011 Henri Boillot Volnay Premier Cru Fremiets $88 bottle
91-93 Points Antonio Galloni “A big, firm wine, the 2011 Volnay Les Fremiets boasts tremendous balance of fruit, acidity and structure. Firm tannins support layers of rich, explosive fruit through to an intense finish laced with dark stone fruits, cinnamon, new leather, crushed rocks and menthol. The Fremiets seems to reveal new shades of expression as it sits in the glass, giving a good idea of what will develop in the coming years.”
