Domaine Henri Boillot Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru 2023

The Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru is outstanding, profound and vibrant.

In his generation, Henri Boillot has dramatically increased the quality of his Domaine wines and created a boutique négoce listed among the very best of the region. Today, the wines, created by Henri’s talent, display such a high level of detail and complexity that it is fair to say that they are among the very best representatives of Burgundy. The Bâtard-Montrachet vineyard owned by Henri Boillot is located on the limit of Puligny-Montrachet to the North and Chassagne-Montrachet to the South. Henri Boillot calls it the Bâtard of the middle.

The bouquet opens up with sweeping flavours of apple, pear, white flowers, orange rind and light toast notes. The palate is impressively expansive yet lifted and framed in a beautiful, silky acid spine for a persistent finish. It can be paired with lobster, foie gras, roast poultry and charcuterie. It will benefit from four to five years of cellaring and can be kept up until 2030+.

Fullish yellow, beautifully rich, quite oaky. Quite an opulent fruit salad style of nose behind, blows the oak off in no time at all. Pretty weighty, quite muscular, good acidity, the feeling that you are barely seeing what is underneath. Possibly not the same degree of finesse as the Clos de la Mouchère, though. 93-95 points - Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy.
