Persoonlijke gegevens
The history of Domaine Henri Boillot dates back to the end of the 19th century. It was originally founded by Henri Boillot's grandfather, Henri Boillot Sr., who began acquiring vineyards in some of Burgundy's most prestigious appellations. The wine tradition of the domain has been passed on from generation to generation. Henri Boillot Sr. was succeeded by his son, Henri Boillot Jr., and later by Henri Boillot III. Each generation continued to expand the family's vineyard holdings and refine its winemaking techniques.
Henri Boillot owns and manages vineyards spread over approximately 19 hectares (about 47 acres) in Burgundy. Henri Boillot's portfolio typically includes wines made from Chardonnay (white) and Pinot Noir (red), the main grape varieties in Burgundy. One of the notable aspects of Henri Boillot's winemaking philosophy is his commitment to minimal intervention in the winemaking process. He believes that the grapes and the unique characteristics of each vineyard come into their own in the final wine. This approach often involves the use of natural yeasts and minimal use of new oak barrels to ensure that the wines reflect the true essence of the terroir. Henri Boillot is an advocate of sustainable and organic agricultural practices in the vineyards. He believes in minimal intervention in the winemaking process so that the grapes can fully express their origins and character. The estate is particularly highly regarded for its white wines made from Chardonnay grapes, including Premier and Grand Cru bottlings from renowned appellations such as Puligny-Montrachet, Batard-Montrachet, Le Montrachet and Meursault.
The grapes come from clay and limestone soil. The wine matures 100% in new oak barrels. The wine has a yellow color with hints of green. In the nose you will find lime, pink grapefruit, acacia and floral aromas. In the mouth the first taste is elegant but also powerful. Delicate, very intense and extremely long. Good complexity, excellent minerality, slightly salty and soft.

| Sommy Pairing Beschrijving | De 2019 Henri Boillot Chevalier Montrachet Grand Cru is een prachtige witte wijn met een delicate balans tussen frisheid en kracht. In de neus proef je levendige tonen van limoen, roze grapefruit en bloemige aroma’s zoals acacia, terwijl de smaak elegant en tegelijk complex is met een zachte mineraliteit en een licht ziltige afdronk. Deze wijn past uitstekend bij rijke gerechten zoals gehakt- en kaasgerechten, vooral als ze bereid zijn met zachte, romige sauzen of gegrild worden om de verfijnde karakteristieken te laten schitteren. Ook groenteschotels met een subtiele smaak, zoals gegrilde asperges of salade met geitenkaas, vormen een mooie match, vooral wanneer ze bereid zijn met lichte, frisse ingrediënten die de frisheid van de wijn aanvullen. Het serveren op ongeveer 10 tot 12 graden Celsius en het kiezen voor bereidingswijzen die de natuurlijke mineraliteit en frisheid benadrukken, zoals kort grillen of stomen, zorgen voor een perfecte harmonie. |
Parker
Bright and precise, the 2019 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru delivers notes of pear, white flowers, blanched almonds and citrus oil. Medium to full-bodied, concentrated and incisive, it's lively and precise, with a bright spine of acidity and a chalky, delicately honeyed finish.
Guillaume Boillot began the harvest on September 6, as usual starting in Volnay. Yields were down, and alcohol levels ranged between 13% and 14.2%. "My father told me to frame the must analyses, as one couldn't hope for anything more perfect," he laughed. Whereas in 2018, Boillot was able to press all his white wines with a vertical basket press, in 2019 he reverted to a pneumatic press, explaining that even after foulage (crushing), it was simply too difficult to extract juice from the thick-skinned small berries that characterized the vintage. "Vinification intégrale," which is to say barrel fermentation of red wines, is still the order of the day for most of the red wine cuvées at this address. The other trend, which sharp-eyed readers will have picked up on, is a move toward more and more domaine-grown fruit: first came the Pommard 1er Cru Clos Blanc, which joined the range in 2018, and this year the Meursault 1er Cru Clos Richemont enters the portfolio. Boillot tells me that he has ambitions to continue this gradual transition. The 2019 vintage, in any case, is a great success, achieving both impressive quality and consistency, and these wines come warmly recommended.
