Tasting notes
The quality coming from these up to 80 year old vines is fast developing a cult following and a stunning reputation, often outscoring Leflaive's and Ramonet's Montrachet. It's the highest ever scored Mouchere from barrel in Vinous.com history. For us at FINE+RARE, it is genuinely one of the most exciting releases of the year and our long running relationship with Henri Boillot has enabled us to secure a sizeable volume of the production. However Henri Boillot’s wines remain in high demand and this will be at the top of the list for any informed Burgundy collector.

Bright yellow. Lemon drop and oil, peach, hazelnut and flowers on the subtly complex nose. Tactile and brisk on entry, then thick and energetic in the middle palate, conveying a distinct impression of sweetness countered by pure saline minerality. The wine's peachy fruit hints at almost honeyed ripeness without losing its verve. Finishes with outstanding mounting length. This has the palate presence and depth of a grand cru.
