Henri Boillot Burgundy 2017

The Boillots have been farming in Burgundy since 1885. The sheer quality of Domaine Boillot wines, including the impressive and exclusive Les Mouchères monopole, is testimony to the assiduous work they have done in both the vineyards and cellar. We have been allocated just 6-12 of each of these fabulous Burgundies from 2017.

The whites—all of which are fermented and matured in larger, 350-liter barrels—are simply exceptional and worthy of a place on any shopping list: they will certainly be on my own!

Henri Boillot described 2017 as an "excellent vintage and potentially even a great one in white and a very good one in red provided that yields were kept reasonable, something not everyone respected. We chose to begin picking on the 25th of August and the fruit really could not have been much cleaner. Ripeness levels were good but not really high and thus the fruit preserved good acid levels. Stylistically, the 2017 whites make me think of 2014 with a bit more fat. As the comments and ratings confirm, I was very impressed with the Boillot 2017s.
