Henri Boillot Pommard 1er Cru Clos Blanc 2022 Bottle size: 750ml
France, Burgundy
R1,795
‘A notably earthier and less elegant blend of red and dark currant displays a subtly spicy top note. The mouthfeel though of the larger-bodied flavors is also quite sleek thanks mainly to the fine-grained but dense tannins shaping the firm but not really rustic or austere finale. This is also really quite good and a wine that could, once again, reasonably be approached on the younger side yet age gracefully for 12 to 15 years. 2034+’ – Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 92/100
‘The 2022 Pommard Clos Blanc 1er Cru is a soft, supple wine that will drink well right out of the gate. Juicy dark cherry, plum, spice, cedar and lavender are front and center. This is not the most complex wine in the range, but it does offer terrific immediacy and tons of pure appeal. Silky tannins wrap it all together. 2025-2034’ – Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 90-92/100

| Producer information | Based in Meursault, between the villages of Puligny-Montrachet and Volnay, Henri Boillot is at the epicentre of great winemaking. The Boillots have been tending vines and making wines since 1885. Henri joined in 1975, bought out his siblings in 2005 and his son, Guillaume, joined in 2008. It totals 19 hectares, with roughly equal surfaces of red and white. Included herein, is 4 hectares of the famous Monopole vineyard of Clos de la Mouchère which has developed a cult following. In a very short space of time, they’ve built an extraordinary reputation for the sheer quality of their Burgundy wines, it is no surprise that Allen Meadows thinks this superstar producer ‘has arguably become the finest pure négoce specializing in white Burgundy today’.
‘Henri Boillot is often quoted as the best white wine négociant in Burgundy and there is no quality difference between his négociant and domaine wines. His son Guillaume is now in charge of the reds, which have seemingly become more elegant, pure and ethereal.’ – Roland Peens |
