2023 Henri Boillot Puligny-Montrachet 1er cru "Clos de la Mouchère" Monopole

Henri and Guillaume Boillot, father and son, bring their own distinct styles to the Domaine, working side by side to craft exceptional wines. Henri focuses on the whites, while Guillaume leads the reds.

The origins of the Domaine date back to 1885, when it was founded as Domaine Jean Boillot, named after Henri’s father. In 2005, Henri acquired the family estate, ushering in a new era of precision and quality. The Domaine holds remarkable vineyard parcels in the Côte de Beaune, particularly in Puligny-Montrachet: Les Perrières, Les Pucelles, and Clos de La Mouchère (Monopole), as well as in Meursault: Clos Richemont (Monopole) and Gouttes d’Or. Additional vineyard holdings in Volnay and Pommard round out their impressive collection.

Henri, the determined and passionate founder, has built the estate around precision and integrity. His meticulous vineyard management and dedication to organic farming have allowed him to craft wines that express the unique character of each terroir. Today, his focus remains on producing refined, elegant white wines that embody purity and balance.

"Here the equally cool, airy and elegant nose reflects citrus and floral scents that are liberally-suffused with a similar dose of borderline pungent wet stone nuances. There is both excellent volume and focused power to the dense and intense medium-bodied flavors that exude an almost palpable minerality on the superbly long finish that comes close to etching itself on the palate. This is an absolute knockout and a clear candidate for the best premier cru of the vintage."
-Burghound, 96 Points

"Mid yellow, with a biscuity touch. Seems unsubtle until you get to the palate which is super powerful but also with subtlety. This Monopole vineyard comprises four distinct terroirs though they are always assembled. An electric backbone stops the power overturning the balance. Yellow fruit, and then an extraordinary, indeed grand cru, weight. Incisive white fruit finish. Drink from 2030-2038. Tasted: December 2023. "
-Jasper Morris, 95-97 Points

Ageing: 50% in 350l new oak barrel, the rest in single-vintage barrel.
