(20% of the blend is from Santenay and Beaune 1ers, 70% is from Volnay villages level vineyards and the remaining 10% is from a Bourgogne vineyard situated in Volnay). A ripe nose of red and dark currant aromas is liberally laced with earth nuances that continue onto the very rich and delicious flavors. There is a lovely mouth feel thanks to the relatively fine-grained tannins and overall this is attractive if not particularly complex. For early enjoyment. 2015+ Rating: 86 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Apr 2014)

Red stone fruits, raspberries, flowers and anise all take shape in the 2012 Bourgogne. Racy and expressive to the core, the 2012 captures the fleshy, racy personality of the year in an accessible style that is ideal for drinking over the near term. 2013-2022 Rating: 88-89 Antonio Galloni, www.vinous.com (Jan 2014)

Vibrant cherries and lively fruit with lifted strawberry and floral notes on the mid palate. Enjoy young. Tasted in: Burgundy, France. Rating: 84/100 Jeannie Cho Lee MW, Decanter (Nov 2013)

Domaine Henri Boillot

A domaine which dates to 1885, but which began properly in the early years of the 20th century under the current Henri's grandfather (also Henri). His son, Jean, was the one who really developed it. Henri arrived in 1975 and worked his way up, becoming the winemaker. In 2000 he began the building of the new winery at the bottom of Meursault, and he then bought out his brother and sister to keep the domaine as one, renaming it from 'Domaine Jean Boillot' to 'Domaine Henri Boillot' to avoid confusion with his brother Jean-Marc's domaine.

The Domaine totals around 14 hectares, with roughly equal surfaces of red and white, and of which just under 4ha is the Monopole vineyard of Clos de la Mouchère, a walled enclave within the premier Cru Puligny Perrières. The 2017 vintage saw the arrival of two new parcels of Grand Cru red, in Échezeaux and Latricières Chambertin
