TN: 2019 Henri Boillot Meursault​

“Henri Boillot, based in Meursault, makes some of the Côte de Beaune’s finest wines. The domaine has a long history, stretching back to 1885, when Henri Boillot’s grandfather founded the estate.
Henri struck out on his own in 1984, but returned to the family domaine, eventually buying out his siblings in 2005 and re-naming the estate (previously Domaine Jean Boillot) to Domaine Henri Boillot. Today Henri works closely with his son Guillaume, who is in charge of the vineyards and making the property’s reds.
The family owns around 14 hectares of vineyards – including the monopole Premier Cru Clos de la Mouchère in Puligny-Montrachet, but also operates as an extremely quality-focused négociant.”




2019 Henri Boillot Meursault​

Holy moly, you might think that nothing can rival „Felseneck“ GG by Schäfer-Fröhlich in terms of energy, vibration, freshness or in general drive&kick, then comes this Meursault.

Starting with a similar smoky perfume like Felseneck, but clearly more like gunpowder or matches in case of the Meursault. Wonderful lean, precise and razor-sharp Chardonnay with flavors of lemon&lime or meyer-lemom according to one of my guests. And thankfully eschewing heaviness. Such fresh, silky and chill which was perfect for this warm Sunday night with 24 C on the countryside, as we had 37 C the day before. The same energy, grip and tension on the palate like the Felseneck from Tim.

What a value and what a terrific vintage 2019 in Burgundy.
