Domaine Henri Boillot
Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru Chardonnay
Puligny-Montrachet, Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, France
Taken to Tommy Bahamas at the Mauna Lani Shops on the Big Island. Light gold color. Amazing nose. Notes of lemon curd, gravel, citrus, wet stone, tan spice. Perfect balance of rich silky fruit and tingling acidity. This is really good juice.

This is better. Open and lush. Sweet fruit with a touch of honey. Deep and clear with freshness from great acidity. A good time to drink this wine- lots going on.

A wonderful wine that needed a few hour decant. Lemon zest, linseed oil, pear and orange blossom. Lavender. More citrus and stones on the palate with good structure. Wonderful food wine that has aged perfectly.

May 9th, 2021Muscular Batard, stone fruit and white flowers. Saline finish, needs time a lot more restraint than the 2017.

Apr 2nd, 2021After an 04 Boillot Corton Charlie I opened was clearly corked, this was popped in its place. I’ve found many 05 WBs to be one dimensionally rich and fruit forward, and more California like in style. This was that PLUS everything you like about WBs. I quickly realized this bottle was opened way too early in its journey. Light gold, good weight. Exciting nose. Notes of citrus, tangerine, chalky white stone, cloves, a little nutmeg and some vanilla. Great energy in the mouth. Massive core of fruit, supported by amazing structure and noticeable acidity. After 3 hours in a decanter, this was singing. Easily one of the best 05s I’ve opened and very memorable. This can likely gain a few more points in its rating with another 10 years of age. Have 1 more bottle, destined to be opened circa 2030!

Jan 19th, 2021Full bodied, white peach in your face batard. My impression boillot changed something in his process 4 to 5 years ago. The fines were much more mineral and sharp before, maybe more wood or more toasting now. Typical 2017, they drink well now.
