2019 | Domaine Henri Boillot | Echezeaux

Rich mid purple, more delicacy to the nose. This has a purer deep red cherry fruit, more even across the palate, possible lacking in lacy detail, but very promising nonetheless. Enough tannins to balance the rich style of fruit Orveaux.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2019 Echezeaux Grand Cru opens in the glass with aromas of cherries, black raspberries, sweet oil tones, licorice and orange oil. Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, its broad, textural attack segues into an ample, lively mid-palate, concluding with a long, flavorful finish.

• Decanter: The fruit here is all from the En Orveaux lieu-dit, so close to Musigny and influenced by the cool winds of the Combe d’Orveaux. This is picked as much as a week after the other fruit from the Côte de Nuits, and delivers a wine of great freshness, with lovely aromas of cassis and mullberry fruit. The wine is still structured and long on the palate, but the grip seems more from the grapes than the cask.

Producer Information

Domaine Henri Boillot is a wine producer based in Meursault known for its red and white wines from Côtes de Beaune appellations. The estate was named Domaine Jean Boillot until 2005, but was changed when Henri Boillot bought out his siblings in order to distinguish it from his brother's new Domaine Jean-Marc Boillot. Henri had previously set up Maison Henri Boillot for négociant wines and retains these labels to distinguish them from estate wines. A majority of Boillot's white wines are sourced from premier crus in Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet, including the entire 4 hectare (10 ac) Clos de la Mouchere vineyard. The domaine's Pinot Noir-based wines come from premier crus in Savigny, Beaune and Volnay. In the vineyard, Boillot avoids the use of insecticides and herbicides. Heavy pruning takes place in spring to limit yields and fruit is harvested as late as possible to ensure maximum phenolic maturity. The Henri Boillot winery is situated in Meursault. The white wines are fermented in 350-liter barrels and bottled after 18 months of barrel ageing. The Pinot Noir is fermented in stainless steel tanks with some stems retained, and then sees 18 months of barrel aging. The premier and grand cru wines under the Maison Henri Boillot label are sourced from single-vineyard plots with single owners to preserve the authenticity of the site.
