2013 | Domaine Henri Boillot | Santenots (Magnum)

Bright, deep, saturated red. Aromas black cherry and licorice show a medicinal aspect. Intense, dense and pure, with harmonious acidity giving shape to the flavors of wild strawberry and licorice. At once round and vivacious, with the depth and strength of fruit to support the substantial ripe tannins. Finishes with lingering dark berry and violet nuances.

Reviews:

• Vinous: Expressive, open-knit aromas of blueberry and spices; less chocolatey than usual for Santenots owing to the cooler vintage. Nicely sweet and supple in the mouth, with juicy acidity framing the red berry and spice flavors and giving this wine considerable charm. Finishes savory and persistent, with smooth tannins.

• Allen Meadows: This is noticeably more complex with its layered array of plum, floral, earth, tea and in the same fashion as the Frémiets, sandalwood hints. There is a textured mouth feel to the sleekly muscular medium weight flavors that possess fine precision and a discreet minerality, all wrapped in a moderately austere, long and firm finale.

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.
