"Henri Boillot decided a few years ago that he wanted to dedicate himself to the production of fine wines. Since then he has gone from strength to strength, sparing no expense, obsessing over every detail, fashioning magnificent wines....Thanks to the superhuman efforts of Henri Boillot, Domaine Jean Boillot should now be counted among the finest producers in the Cote de Beaune for both reds and whites." -Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate Read what Allen Meadows (the #1 Burgundy expert) says about Henri Boillot and his amazing wines. Below I have also included Burghound reviews of the individual wines.

"I've said this before but it bears repeating: in recent years, the quality of both sides of Boillot's operation have been nothing short of phenomenal and he has become, in my view, the best small négociant in Burgundy for white wines. And, as the scores and comments confirm, Boillot's '08s are extremely impressive and absolutely worth your attention.

"Henri Boillot continues to make stunning wines from his négociant operation and he has arguably become the finest pure négoce specializing in white burgundy today; yes there are other very fine négociants but the huge majority of them are really domaines hidden inside a "Maison" facade that buy in fruit or must to supplement their proprietary wines."

2008 Puligny-Montrachet "Perrières" Rated 92/2015+
3 bottles $325. 6 bottles $625, 12 bottle case $1140 ($94)
Burghound.com's 78 "Sweet Spot" 2008s
"Initially, this is restrained to the point of being almost mute and only aggressiveswirling coaxes aromas of green apple and lemon-lime to grudgingly emerge. The lively, detailed and intensely mineral-drivenmedium-bodied flavors possess a chiseled, driving and explosively long finish. This would not be a good candidate for earlyconsumption but should handsomely repay 6 to 8 years of cellar time." -Allen Meadows, Burghound

2008 Puligny-Montrachet "Clos de la Mouchère" Rated 94/2015+ 3 bottles $335. 6 bottles $650, 12 bottle case $1188 ($99)

Burghound.com's 78 "Sweet Spot" 2008s "(from 60+ year old vines and the vineyard is a whopping 4 ha monopole within Perrières). Here the nose is a bit more complex than that of the "straight" Perrières with a similar nose that displays just a bit more minerality but also notably more tension and punch on the palate staining and highly textured medium-bodiedflavors. The hugely long finish fans out like a peacock's tail and this delivers grand cru quality." -Allen Meadows, Burghound

2008 Puligny-Montrachet Rated 90/2013+
3 bottles $210. 6 bottles $385, 12 bottle case $769 ($64)
Burghound.com's 75 Top Value 2008s
"(from 1 ha of evenly mixed vines in Houlières, Charmes and Enseignères). A very pretty and lightly perfumed nose of acacia, honeysuckle and lightly spiced pear aromas is followed by rich, full and delicious flavors thatmanage to retain a good sense of underlying detail and tension on the stylish and lingering finish. An excellent villages and worth considering." -Allen Meadows, Burghound

2008 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru Rated 95/2020+
$375 per bottle, 3 bottles $1125, 6 bottles $2250, ($375)
Burghound.com's 61 "Don't Miss" 2008s
Very limited
"(two-thirds from Chassagne and the remainder from Puligny). A less expressive but more complex nose speaks of notably ripe but not exotic aromas of lightly spiced and toasted green, yellow and citrus fruit that complementsto perfection the reserved, intense, round and very powerful big-bodied flavors that display obvious concentration and muscle on the dry but attractively textured and detailed finish. This is a knock-out effort and worth a special effort to find and cellar as it's going to require at least a decade to reach its apogee." -Allen Meadows, Burghound

These are some of the finest white wines in the world. We should all own some bottles for the best moments in our lives. Cynthia Hurley
