Burghound, June 2012

This is presently sufficiently reduced that I would strongly recommend decanting it if you're tempted to try one young. Here the aromatic profile is distinctly different from any of the preceding grands crus as the primary fruit element is green rather than white or yellow though there are apple, pear and plenty of mineral notes in the background. The rich, powerful and focused big-bodied flavors exhibit almost painful intensity as there is a plethora of mouth coating extract that buffers the very firm tannic spine that allows all of this size and weight to remain exquisitely well-balanced. This is not quite as complex or persistent as the Montrachet but it's not far off and in any case, it does precisely what it's supposed to do which is to be an excellent example of Corton-Charlemagne, not Montrachet.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, August 2012

Boillot's 2010 Corton-Charlemagne comes across as laid back and understated in this vintage, although the fruit seems to gain an additional measure of volume on the mid-palate and finish. Above all else, it is the wine's striking inner perfume and finessed personality that stand out most. Anticipated maturity: 2014+. -Antonio Galloni

Stephen Tanzer's IWC, September 2012

Bright pale yellow. Extremely closed nose hints at gunflint and menthol. Dense and pure on entry, then as powerful as a solid in the middle, with explosive lift to the flavors of white pepper, mint and dusty stone. Expands with air to fill the mouth without giving any impression of weight. Finishes with a convincing saline tang and outstanding persistence. This has the structure of a top red Burgundy: I'd forget about it for at least eight years. 96+

About Winery

"After making wine at his family's property
(Domaine Jean Boillot) for more than a decade [Henri Boillot] quit in 1984 to launch his own negociant business.

After sufficiently impressing his grandfather, Jean Boillot, with the quality of his wines Henri rejoined the estate and eventually bought out his brothers and sisters in 2005. He immediately changed the name of the winery from Domaine Jean Boillot to Domaine Henri Boillot to avoid confusion with his brother's property, Domaine Jean-Marc Boillot. In case you're not sufficiently confused, Henri also continued to market his negociant wines under the Maison Henri Boillot label.

The quality? Well, across the board Boillot's bottlings are pure, rich, accurate, powerful and brilliant. As The Wine Advocate neatly stated, "As a group these wines showed vibrancy, excellent acidity, genuine vineyard character, and they tasted damn good too! Differences between Meursaults from Charmes and Genevrieres were obvious. It was much the same for the Pulignys and the Grand Crus. In every case, the Boillot wines served  as excellent representatives of the fundamental character one has come to expect from these vineyards."" --- TSTonline
