THE PRODUCER
This estate - based in Meursault - dates back six generations to 1885 and was
known previously as Domaine Jean Boillot. The Domaine owns 15ha of vineyards
from Puligny-Montrachet through to Clos de Vougeot in the Cote de Nuits and
include the excellent Premier Cru monopole of Puligny-Montrachet Clos de la
Mouchere (located within the Premier Cru Les Perrieres).

The wines from Henri Boillot are released either as Domaine Henri Boillot for
wines from vineyards owned by the domaine, and Henri Boillot for those from
purchased grapes. There need be little confusion as the latter are treated with
the same care as the former. Henri now works with his son Guillaume who joined
the domaine in 2012 and has injected even more energy into producing the finest
wines possible from these excellent vineyards.

THE WINE
Clos de la Mouchere is the monopole of Henri Boillot. This 3.92-hectare premier
cru vineyard is lying as an enclave within the Perrieres vineyard, the soil is
clay and limestone, and vines are on average 82 years old. 70% of the wine is
aged in 350 litre new oak barrels, and the remainder ages in used oak. The wines
are pure, bold, dense, and very complex; Henri Boillot finds that Clos de la
Mouchere produces a richer and more honeyed style than the rest of the Perrieres
vineyard.

CRITICS SCORES
We choose our wines based on a range of criteria(seehow we choose our wines)of
which critic scores is justone. Rather than simply highlight the best score to
promote a wine, our average critic score is calculated from the scores provided
by several respected wine critics, who we follow for specific regions. They do
not represent all critic scores and, wherever possible, we try and give more
weight to more recent reviews. Where appropriate we consider market-based scores
like Global Wine Score or Wine Searcher Average scores.

As a rule, we look to offer wines that achieve a92/100average critic score or
better and frankly a lot of very good wines simply don’t make the cut. As a
high-end provider we want to reflect that positioning in the quality of wines we
offer. Such wines are only a tiny fraction of those generally on offer in the
market. We believe that an average score is a more conservative and
representative approach, but it is still subjective and only offered as a guide
to our customers, who will (and should) do their own research. We will add
individual critic scores to our website in the future.
