Henri Boillot

Guillaume Boillot

This domain was founded in 1885 and from 1975 the grandson of the founder was at the helm. He also started up the négoce in 1995 and propelled the domain to great heights. In 2020 Henri retired and handed over the reins of the domain to Guillaume. With vineyards in Volnay, Puligny-Montrachet and Meursault and every year as a négociant the disposal of several Grand Cru's such as Clos de Vougeot, Latricières-Chambertin, Chambertin Clos de Bèze, Le Montrachet and many other appellations, it is a unique domain that belongs to the top of Burgundy. Since 2005 the Boillot family owns the domain and thus the cellar in Meursault, until that year the domain was located in Volnay. In Meursault there is a state-of-the-art cellar, separate cellars for white and red wine. All the vineyards are cultivated according to the rules of organic viticulture. Guillaume and his father Henri have chosen in 2020 to go into conversion and thus from 2023 onwards all wines will be certified organic. Website: www.henri-boillot.com

Burgundy Wines

In fact, the Burgundy wine region consists of six different areas. The most northerly is Chablis where only white wines are made on the unique chalk soils. The Côte de Nuits can be found between Dijon and Beaune, a sub-region where mainly red wines are made. Here you can find Grand Crus such as Vlos de Vougeot, Echézeaux and Mazis-Chambertin. Between Beaune and Chalon-sur-Saone lies the Côte de Beaune. A region where both white and red are made, but the white wines from villages such as Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet have almost reached cult status. Chalonnais begins south of Chassagne-Montrachet, an area with villages such as Rully and Mercurey. Here wines are made with a wonderful price-quality ratio. The most famous white wines from the south in Burgundy, the Maconnais, bear names such as Pouilly-Fuissé, Saint-Véran and Mâcon. A little further south is the Beaujolais, also part of Burgundy. No pinot noir here, but gamay for the red wines
