Henri Boillot has in a very short space of time build an extraordinary reputation for the sheer quality of his Burgundy wines. To call the the Henri Boillot label a mini-negoce does the wines a great disservice as, although Henri does not own the vineyards from which the grapes are sourced, he farms them as meticulously as if they were is own.
They are only ‘mini’ perhaps in the tiny levels of wine produced from each appellation. The meticulous and elegant Henri Boillot also owns and manages the Domaine founded by his grandfather. The sheer quality of these wines, including the impressive and exclusive Les Mouchères monopole, is testimony to the assiduous work he has done in both the vineyards and cellar.

An intensely floral nose of mostly honeysuckle scents also displays subtle notes of spice and ripe white fruit aromas. There is really lovely detail to the beautifully intense middle weight flavors that possess excellent precision and tension that supports the refined, pure and impressively persistent finish where a citrus component adds a bit of additional lift. This is a textbook Bienvenues of refinement and grace.
