A world-class master of White Burgundy—revered for producing pristine, intensely powerful, and laser-focused Chardonnays alongside aristocratic Volnay and Pommard reds.
Quick Facts for Consumers
Style: Powerful, pristine, and electric. The whites are famous for their immense palate weight, taut citrus acidity, and intense limestone minerality, while the reds show silkiness, pure dark berry fruit, and elegant structure.
The Monopole Crown Jewel: The estate owns the entire 3.8-hectare monopole vineyard of Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos de la Mouchère. Sourced from 80-year-old vines, it is widely considered one of the single greatest Premier Crus in all of Burgundy.
Dual Domaine & Maison Mastery: Henri Boillot operates both as a stellar estate owner (*Domaine*) and a micro-négociant (*Maison*). Crucially, Henri and his son Guillaume personally oversee the viticulture and manual harvesting in every purchased plot to guarantee identical top-tier quality across both labels.
