Crisp Green Apple, White Flowers, and Village-Level Burgundian Precision

The 2023 Maison Henri Boillot Bourgogne Chardonnay is a remarkably refined, crisp, and high-toned regional white Burgundy that regularly punch far above its appellation weight. Sourced from premier parcels across the Côte de Beaune—including Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, and Saint-Aubin—it delivers benchmark purity and precision. Soaring aromas of crisp green apple, lemon zest, white floral blossoms, and subtle crushed stone lead into a medium-bodied, satiny palate balanced by vibrant limestone acidity and a long, clean finish.

Terroir, History & Acclaim

Critical Recognition:
Jasper Morris MW 88-90 pts
  • 88-90 Points ★★★★☆ - Jasper Morris MW (Inside Burgundy): From appellation Bourgogne vineyards in Puligny-Montrachet and Meursault along with a bit of St-Aubin and Auxey-Duresses. Mid lemon yellow, with a very engaging correctly ripe Burgundian chardonnay bouquet. Sign up for this. There is still some gas present at the moment which enforces the welcome freshness. Drink from 2026-2028. Tasted Oct 2024.
  • Elevated Côte de Beaune Sourcing: Henri Boillot treats his Bourgogne Blanc with the same meticulous care as his Grand Crus. Fruit is sourced from top sites directly bordering prestigious Côte de Beaune appellations, benefiting from rich limestone soils that confer true village-level depth and minerality.
  • Precision Winemaking: Vinified in larger 350-liter oak barrels to minimize heavy toast while enhancing texture. Whole-bunch pressing and temperature-controlled fermentations protect the pristine purity and natural acidity of the Chardonnay fruit.

Highlights

  • 100% Chardonnay harvested from top vineyard plots in the Côte de Beaune.
  • A radiant 2023 release bursting with green apple, fresh lemon zest, white floral blossoms, and crushed limestone.
  • Crafted by Maison Henri Boillot, offering immediate enjoyment and 3 to 6+ years of cellar potential.

Tasting Notes

  • Appearance: Pale straw-lemon yellow with luminous greenish highlights.
  • Nose: Pure, crisp, and inviting. It opens with aromas of crisp green apple, white peach, and fresh lemon peel, accompanied by white lily blossoms and subtle crushed chalk.
  • Palate: Dry, medium-bodied, and beautifully precise. The entry brings a vibrant wave of orchard fruit that glides across a satiny mid-palate, backed by fresh limestone acidity and a long, mouth-watering finish.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve chilled at 10–12°C to highlight its bright citrus energy and white floral aromas.
  • Decanting: No decanting needed; open and enjoy directly. Best enjoyed now through 2029+.
  • Western Pairing: Fresh oysters, pan-seared sea bass, roasted poultry, or goat cheese salad.
  • Asian Pairing: Steamed grouper with ginger and scallions, fresh sashimi, salt-and-pepper squid, or Cantonese dim sum.
