Pale yellow. Aromas of ripe peach and hazelnut. Fat, salty and energetic, delivering impressive stuffing and thickness for its humble appellation. Not hugely fruity in the mouth, though, hinting at stone fruits and minerals.
Rating: 87 –89
Inviting aromas of ripe stone fruits and hazelnut. A sappy, dense Bourgogne Blanc with a serious, salty side and noteworthy intensity. Very good potential.

This year incorporating fruit from Saint-Romain and Monthélie, the 2019 Bourgogne Blanc exhibits aromas of pear, toasted bread and white flowers. Medium-bodied, racy and precise, with a nicely concentrated core of fruit and chalky back-end grip, it's a fine rendition of the appellation and represents a fine value.

The 2013 Bourgogne Blanc, which comes from several appellations, has a simple waxy bouquet. The palate is light and crisp, but is missing a little substance on the finish. Hopefully, it will gain more character with continued bottle age.

There is a lot to like about the 2011 Bourgogne Chardonnay, which shows lovely purity and depth. Hints of dried apricots and flowers wrap around the expressive finish. This is a terrific effort at the Bourgogne level. Anticipated maturity: 2012+. (Not yet released) Henri Boillot recently finished his move to a new modern cellar in Champ Lins, one of the industrial sections of Meursault. Boillot describes his 2011s as having a bit more richness and better balance of fruit and acidity than the 2010s. Based on what I tasted, it’s hard to argue that point. Boillot seems to be one case where the 2011s have the potential to be better across the board than the 2010s. As is often the case here, the village wines are particularly strong.

The 2010 Bourgogne Chardonnay has a refined, comparatively complex bouquet when compared to its generic peers, with crisp green dewy apple and a touch of pear. The palate is well-defined with light honeyed tones on the entry, later almond and smoke that segue into a sour lemon on the finish. This is an accomplished generic white Burgundy from Monsieur Boillot. Drink now-2015. I tasted three wines recently from Domaine Henri Boillot in London.

The 2009 Bourgogne is a ripe, seductive wine with gorgeous depth and plenty of personality at this level. This is a pretty rich Bourgogne that impresses for its balance and sense of harmony. Anticipated maturity: 2012+. This is a beautiful set of wines from Henri Boillot’s negociant line. The entry-level wines in particular offer fabulous value. If anything, those are the most interesting wines here. When tasting Burgundy it is tempting to assume that premier crus are better than villages, and grand crus are better than the premiers, but that is often not the case, especially in a warm vintage where lesser sites ripened to a greate extent than is typically possible. Shrewd readers will find many jewels in this lineup, but they won’t be in the most likely places. In 2011 Boillot will have several new wines in his range, including Referts and Combettes. The 2009 villages were bottled in November, while the premier crus were bottled in January 2011. Importer: Various US importers, including Massanois Imports, Washington, DC; tel. (202) 470-6769

The Boillot 2007 Bourgogne is surprisingly creamy in texture for its vintage and appellation; brimming with peach and yellow plum; and finishes with the invigoration of tart fruit skin and fresh citrus. I would plan to enjoy it over the next couple of years. As explained in my report in issue 180, Henri Boillot’s domaine is now legally known by his name rather than that of his father Jean, and is thus eponymous with his negociant business. Furthermore, given what seems to be a stylistic convergence as well as given Boillot's own preference in presenting his wines this year, I have folded together the coverage of these two entities, noting in the text of my notes those wines that come from the domaine. Boillot did not begin picking until the second week in September, harvesting fruit that he reported required only occasional, minimal chaptalization and had higher tartaric than malic acid, in contrast to their proportions in 2008. Since Boillot managed to achieve his ideals of “precision and minerality” even in the ripe 2006 vintage, it will come as no surprise that they have been brilliantly achieved in 2007. A preference for volume of healthy lees rather than their stirring and (as mentioned in my report on his 2006s) the utilization of 350-liter barrels rather than barriques are surely among the factors that permit these wines to marry richness with refreshment and clarity. On the other hand, even the wines of lesser appellation that receive less barrel exposure are still given extended time on their fine lees in tank before bottling, Boillot being a believer that "time is of the essence" to great white Burgundy, not in the proverbial sense but rather in that of taking enough if it.

Produced entirely in two year old barrels, Boillot's 1997 Bourgogne Blanc exhibits a delightful sweet pear and anise-infused nose. Half of the must used to craft this wine is declassified St. Romain ("it brings minerality," says Boillot), and the balance is from the Meursault commune ("for its fat"). The resulting offering is extremely impressive, with an expressive, oily-textured, fresh, and well-balanced personality. Thick layers of white fruits verging on sur-maturite are intermingled with hints of gravel in its flavor profile. I wish all the generic Bourgognes were this good! Drink it over the next 3-4 years.

The 2017 Bourgogne Blanc is in fact declassified Saint-Romain and Auxey-Duresses blended with fruit from the commune of Meursault, and it's vinified and matured in used 350-liter barrels. Wafting from glass, with notes of toasted nuts, pear and citrus fruit, it's medium-bodied, ample and incisive, with a generous core of delicately textural fruit, framed by juicy acids and concluding with a stony finish. It's one of the finest examples of the appellation to be found.

Vinified and aged in previously used oak barrels, the 2003 Bourgogne (white) is a blend of St.-Romain, Auxey-Duresses, and Bourgogne appellation parcels from the commune of Meursault. Its restrained floral aromas lead to a satin-textured, light to medium-bodied personality filled with salty pears. This fresh wine should be drunk over the next 2-3 years.

This firm's 2000 Bourgogne Blanc is undoubtedly one of the finest generic Burgundies produced in this vintage (or any other). It displays demure white flower, pear, and mineral aromas that lead to an elegant, medium-bodied personality. This wine explodes on the palate with tropical fruits, copious quantities of minerals, and hints of spices. It has enormous precision to its pure, rich, and persistent character. Drink it over the next 5-6 years. Importer: Robert Kacher Selections, Washington, DC; tel. (202) 832-9083

Lovely spice aromas emanate from the glass of the 2001 Bourgogne Blanc. Armed with gorgeous depth and elegance, this light to medium-bodied wine reveals excellent purity in its refined spiced mineral and pear-dominated character. Drink it over the next 3-4 years.

Light to medium-bodied and sporting a hugely spicy nose, the 2002 Bourgogne is a lush, satiny-textured wine packed with spiced apple flavors. Its finish reveals lime and lemon characteristics that provide an appealing freshness. Drink it over the next 2-3 years.

Produced from grapes purchased from Alain Gras, St. Romain's most famous vigneron, and aged in one and two year old oak barrels, the Bourgogne Blanc is as good as any regional "Bourgogne appellation" wine I have tasted. Ripe, leesy and deep aromas give way to a broad, expansive, concentrated, focused and medium-bodied core of buttery white fruits. Drink this beauty between now and 2002. Henri Boillot, the brother of Jean-Marc Boillot and brother-in-law of Gerard Boudot (of Maison Etienne Sauzet fame) is responsible for the family estate (Domaine Jean Boillot) that bears his father's name, as well as for a small negociant business he has recently created. To assist readers in differentiating the two, I have placed an asterisk (*) beside the negociant bottlings. Importer: Dreyfus Ashby, New York, NY; tel (212) 818-0770.
