  Nice white peaches and floral bouquet. Mineral, limestone, limeskins, pomelo and peachy. Good balance, gentle acidity and cool on the palate.

  pretty but restrained nose...very good palate presence and concentration but a bit out of balance...nice villages from an excellent producer...I do prefer the Puligny and Meursault villages to this though

  Domaine Jean Boillot ledes af Henri Boillot, som er en af Bourgognes nye stjerner. Hans vine er yndede objekter for "name dropping": Vine, som mange taler om, men kun få har smagt. Dette vil næppe ændre sig i fremtiden; Boillot laver så begrænsede mængder vin, at der aldrig vil være nok til alle, og hans vine vil altid være forbeholdt en lille, heldig begrænsede skare vinnydere. Boillot-vinene er ekstremt koncentrerede og intense, og besidder en en utrolig friskhed. I tilgift til domæne-vinene (som laves på druer af egen avl), udbydes også en vifte af negociant-vine (på opkøbte druer) under navnet Maison Henri Boillot. Negociant-vine er oftest af en lavere kvalitet end domæne-vine, men sådan forholder det sig ikke hos Boillot: Vinene fra Maison Henri Boillot er mindst lige så forbløffende som vinene fra Domaine Jean Boillot.
  
  Robert Parker skriver om Boillot; "[Boillot] has sky-rocketed to the top echelon of Burgundy producers due to the uncompromising work of its owner and winemaker...."
  
  Stephen Tanzer (International Wine Cellar) skriver om Boillots hvidvine; "How can chardonnay get better than this? They are hugely rich but classically dry. They are sweetly oaky, but have more than enough material to support their wood element."
  
  Anbefales til: Retter med kraftige fisketyper, fjerkræ, svinekød, patéer.
