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.

(1x150cl) 2015Vinous (91-93)
(Boillot picked this fruit first in 2015, as acidity levels can quickly plunge on this hot calcaire soil): Subdued musky aromas of stone fruits and hazelnut. A fat, oily bomb of stone fruits on the palate, but this thick, silky wine is framed and lifted on the very long back end by dusty stone.HK$3,165.00 -
Vinous (90-93)
Bright yellow. Deeper-pitched on the nose than the , Puligny-Montrachet Les Perrières, offering aromas of apricot, mandarin orange, smoke and hazelnut. Fine-grained and dense but still a bit hard-edged and in need of further élevage. A bit drier and more aggressive on the end than on the front half, finishing with a hint of menthol. This fruit was harvested very early with sound natural acidity. (Boillot will not bottle a Puligny-Montrachet Folatières or a Caillerets owing to frost losses.)HK$11,210.00 -

(6x75cl) 2023Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (90-93)
First picked, as you have to these days. Mid lemon yellow. The bouquet shows softer fruit up front, something of a cashmere texture on the palate, with some ripe citrus, fair acidity but the balance of the wine is more fragile. Drink from 2029-2033. Tasted Oct 2024.HK$7,255.00 -
Vinous (91-94)
(a domain wine): Pale, bright yellow. Oily peach nectar, hazelnut oil and Poire William on the nose and in the mouth. Round and plush but with a firm dusting of stony minerality energizing the middle palate. Manages to be both voluptuous and chewy, giving the wine striking precision for its size. The superb, slowly mounting finish is subtle and long. These 48-year-old vines produced just 35 hectoliters per hectare, due in part to some millerandage.HK$2,355.00 -
(6x75cl) 2022Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (94-96)
Middling deep yellow. A little oak on the nose, but otherwise high class predominantly orchard fruit. This is more nuanced than the Folatières, entirely white fruit and a good balance between the clay and the minerals. An excellent and persistent finish. Drink from 2029-2036. Tasted: December 2023.HK$10,065.00 -

A lemon colour. This is more on the stones than a heavyweight on the nose. On the palate there is a wealth of ripe citrus, with the start of some yellow peaches, but the stones definitely dominate. Slightly two-speed at the moment, but should pull together by the end of its elevage. Drink from 2029-2035. Tasted Oct 2024.HK$8,950.00 -

Don't miss! Outstanding The beautifully refined nose offers up spiced notes of honeysuckle, apple and white peach. The rich and relatively full-bodied flavors possess the same refined mouth feel telegraphed by the nose before concluding in a clean, dry, long and seriously complex finish. Like the Combettes this is very classy and immaculately well-balance finale. A classic Pucelles.HK$34,280.00 -

The 2019 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Pucelles exhibits aromas of orange oil, toasted nuts, pear and white flowers, framed by a deft touch of new oak. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and enveloping, with an ample core of fruit and bright girdling acids, it concludes with a precise, mouthwatering finish.HK$12,250.00 -
(6x75cl) 2022Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (95-97)
5 Star Wine. A pale lemon yellow. The bouquet is beautifully classy. Little white fruits and flowers, perfectly nuanced, very slightly richer at the back and extraordinarily long on the palate. Perfect fruit acid matching all the way through. Drink from 2030-2038. Tasted: December 2023.HK$11,625.00 -
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (93-95)
Clear pale lemon. Immediate class on the nose, a pure white fruit with just the right degree of sunshine to make it satisfying. Electricity on the palate, energetic fresh limestone, some ripe citrus persisting behind. Henri tells me that Pucelles came in with both the highest sugar level and the highest acidity. Drink from 2030-2038. Tasted Oct 2024.HK$8,770.00 -

The 2018 Puligny-Montrachet Village is superb, unfurling in the glass with aromas of white peach, clear honey, citrus oil and fresh pastry. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, ample and textural, with lively acids and a long, precise finish. As I noted last year, it's derived from the superior lieux-dits of Les Houlières, La Rousselle, Les Charmes and Les Enseignères.HK$10,160.00 -
Decanter (92)
Produced from 1.15ha of domaine-owned vines in the lieux-dits of Les Enseignères, Les Charmes and Les Houillères. The blend this year shows surprising depth of flavour, beginning with fresh citrus notes and an accent of flinty minerality on the initial attack. The maturation is evident in the spice notes that develop on the palate, but the wine never loses its elegance or balance, and there is enough substance to carry it through a pleasantly lingering finish.HK$11,260.00 -

Outstanding A subtle but not invisible application of wood sets off cool aromas of various flowers, pear, apple and orange peel. There is very good volume to the succulent, intense and agreeably textured flavors that culminate in a bone-dry, palate coating and lingering finale where a hint of youthful austere slowly emerges. This is a very impressive and age worthy Puligny villages.HK$5,390.00 -
Burghound (91)
Outstanding Moderate reduction is enough to push the underlying fruit to the background. By contrast, there is excellent freshness and intensity to the solidly concentrated medium weight flavors that coat the palate with dry extract while delivering impressive length on the balanced, youthfully austere and citrus-tinged finale. This is a really good Puligny villages and even though it's more powerful than usual, it remains stylish and refined. One to buy plus it should age gracefully.HK$4,750.00 -
(6x75cl) 2022Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (91-94)
5 Star Wine. Mid yellow in colour. A light biscuity touch alongside a properly floral bouquet, this is remarkably stylish while evidently also suggesting full ripeness. Several waves of flavour with the fruit becoming ever fresher the further back it goes, finishing on a very pure white fruit, scarcely marked by the oak at all. A brilliant village Puligny. Drink from 2028-2034. Tasted: December 2023.HK$4,820.00 -
(6x75cl) 2023Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (89-91)
From Charmes, Houlières, Enseignères, Rue Rousseau and Rue aux Vaches. 20% new wood. Mid lemon yellow. Reductive. Starts discreetly, then builds in intensity, as always more linear than the Meursault, with a fair length of finish. Drink from 2028-2032. Tasted Oct 2024.HK$4,245.00 -

Outstanding Ripe and very fresh aromas are composed by notes of green apple, citrus rind and mineral reduction. There is excellent intensity to the stony and attractively textured medium weight flavors that deliver very good length on the chiseled and nicely dry finale. This is lovely and the underlying tension makes one feel like drinking it.HK$995.00 -
(1x75cl) 2005Vinous (94+)
Deep ruby-red. Wild aromas of blackberry, game, mocha, violet and smoke, with a suggestion of roasted ripeness. Rich and stuffed with fruit but showing less early personality than the Chevrets, as the tannins are not yet integrated. With its youthful bitterness and firm mineral cut, this is almost painful today in the middle palate. Really explodes with aeration, though, finishing with vibrant, palate-saturating flavor and superb richness. This reminded me of a grand cru from the Cote de Nuits. Crop levels here and in the Chevrets were between 32 and 35 hectoliters per hectare in 2005. Boillot emphasizes that Volnay was the most successful Cote de Beaune village in 2005, as it was in the outstanding '99 vintage as well.HK$1,215.00 -
(6x75cl) 2017Wine Advocate (92-94)
The 2017 Volnay 1er Cru Les Caillerets displays pretty aromas of cassis and blackberries that mingle with wood smoke, spices, rich soil and dried flowers in a complex bouquet that's deftly framed by toasty new oak. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, ample and layered, with good concentration and depth and a fine-grained chassis of tannin.HK$5,380.00 -
(2x75cl) 2018Wine Advocate (94)
Invariably a highlight of the portfolio, Boillot's 2018 Volnay 1er Cru Les Caillerets derives from a low-yielding 60-are parcel of 55-year-old vines. Unfurling in the glass with a deep bouquet of wild berries, plums, raw cocoa and sweet soil tones, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and multidimensional, its concentrated core of vibrant fruit underlined by succulent acids and framed by chalky tannins. This is a brilliant wine that's worth a special effort to seek out.HK$2,345.00 -

One of my favorite wines in the cellar is the 2019 Volnay 1er Cru Les Caillerets, a lovely cuvée that wafts from the glass with notes of plums, rose petals, sweet berry fruit, raw cocoa and loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, bright and lively, it's sapid and concentrated, with refined tannins and a long, saline finish.HK$3,465.00 -

Even more intense purple than the Chevrets with a theme of intense brilliance and zest through the middle. The wood shows a bit at the moment though he has used less in his red wines this year. Will settle down. Just a touch soapy at the moment, but all the indications are of a grand vin. Sweet ripe cherries with a good thread of acidity. Tasted: 10/1/2021HK$5,035.00 -

A darker crimson colour, and the fruit too has added a darker note. Black raspberries, a little fresher red fruit further back on the palate, concentrated, tannins present but ripe, fair length. Perhaps this could have been picked a couple of days earlier. Drink from 2029-2035. Tasted Oct 2024.HK$5,785.00 -
Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (91-93)
Bright red-ruby. Rather brooding aromas of cassis, blackberry, smoke and licorice are pure and discreet. Surprisingly rich on entry, then lush and seamless in the middle, but with very good acidity framing and lifting the black fruit and game flavors. The powerful, rising finish features building tannins and a distinct thick-skinned character. The old vines in Boillot's parcel were strongly affected by millerandage, which largely explains this wine's extra measure of texture and concentration. Boillot noted that his 2011s generally have 3.8 to 4 grams per liter of acidity following the malos, which is quite healthy for the vintage.HK$5,255.00
