Domaine Henri Boillot - Puligny-Montrachet - 1er Cru Clos de la Mouchère 2023
Domaine Henri Boillot is located in Meursault, Burgundy . The estate was named Domaine Jean Boillot until 2005, but was changed when Henri Boillot bought the vineyard shares from his siblings to distinguish it from the new Domaine Jean-Marc Boillot owned by 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 interventions and all inputs as much as possible, a philosophy applied since the 1990s that makes the estate a pioneer in ultra-sustainable vineyard management . The specialty of the Boillot father and son is concentrated on two appellations: Puligny-Montrachet and Volnay.
Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru Clos de la Mouchère comes from the 4-hectare monopoly enclosed within the Premier Cru Les Perrières. The Chardonnay vines are 83 years old, grown on clay-limestone soil. The wine is aged 25% in new 350-liter barrels , the remainder in single-wine barrels.
Grape variety: 100% Chardonnay
