2018 | Domaine Henri Boillot | Les Perrieres (Magnum)

Glowing pale primrose, with a massive weight of fruit that takes time to emerge. The stones start to show with a minute or two in the glass, but then an extra opulence om the palate alongside the dancing mineral feel. Lemon scented again, here the fruit has knocked the oak into submission.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Unwinding in the glass with aromas of white flowers, waxy citrus rind, green pear, fresh mint and nutmeg, the 2018 Meursault 1er Cru Les Perrières is medium to full-bodied, chalky and introverted, with terrific tension and structuring dry extract in this warm vintage, concluding with a long and mineral finish.

• Allen Meadows: A cool, airy and elegant nose speaks of even more floral elements that include acacia, lilac and rose petal along with hints of mineral reduction, lemon rind and soil nuances. There is equally good intensity to the sophisticated, stony and chiseled middle weight flavors that conclude in a super-saline and linear finish that is quite firm. This is akin to rolling rocks around in the mouth and a wine that will also require at least some patience.

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.
