Domaine Henri Boillot - Puligny-Montrachet - 1er Cru Les Pucelles 2019
Domaine Henri Boillot is located in Meursault, in Burgundy. The estate was named Domaine Jean Boillot until 2005, but was modified when Henri Boillot bought the vineyard shares from his brothers and sisters in order to distinguish it from the new Domaine Jean-Marc Boillot belonging to his brother. Since 2008, Henri Boillot has been accompanied by his son Guillaume, who is head of viticulture and winemaker of the estate's red wines. They limit as much as possible the interventions and all the entrants, a philosophy applied since the 1990s which made the domain a precursor in the management of sustainable viticulture. The specialty of Boillot father and son focuses on two appellations: Puligny-Montrachet and Volnay.
The Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru Les Pucelles comes from a plot of 57 ares. The age of the Chardonnay vines is 56 years, cultivated on a clay-limestone soil. The wine is aged 60% in new 350-litres barrels, the rest in one-year-wine barrels for 13 months.
Grape variety: 100% Chardonnay
