2011 | Domaine Henri Boillot | Puligny-Montrachet Les Combettes (Magnum)

A beautifully complex and well-layered nose offers up aromas of ripe yellow orchard fruit, wood spice and herbal tea. There is an attractively textured feel to the opulent, concentrated and clearly very ripe medium weight plus flavors that possess good energy on the naturally sweet and mouth coating finish.

Reviews:

• Allen Meadows: A beautifully complex and well-layered nose offers up aromas of ripe yellow orchard fruit, wood spice and herbal tea. There is an attractively textured feel to the opulent, concentrated and clearly very ripe medium weight plus flavors that possess good energy on the naturally sweet and mouth coating finish.

• Wine Advocate: The 2011 Puligny-Montrachet Les Combettes is weightless, gracious and impeccable. Soft, floral notes dominate, giving the wine much of its understated, polished personality. A bright, caressing finish rounds things out nicely in this open, approachable Puligny.

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.
