Henri Boillot - Chambertin Grand Cru 2022

In one generation, Henri Boillot has dramatically increased the quality of his Domaine wines and created a boutique négoce of the highest reputation. The wines, honed by Henri’s prodigious talent, display such a high level of detail and complexity that it is fair to say that they are among the very best representatives of Burgundy’s finest.

The 2022 Chambertin Grand Cru is laced with hints of red toned fruit, cedar, cinnamon, spice and new leather. Deceptively medium in body, the 2022 is super-elegant right out of the gate. It's a Chambertin of finesse rather than size. Blood orange, mint, rose petal spice and new leather lend aromatic nuance, all framed by the silkiest of tannins. What a gorgeous wine this is. 94-96pts, Antonio Galloni, Vinous

100% Pinot Noir.

Technical notes

At Domaine Henri Boillot, the work done in the vineyard is meticulous, following organic practices and aiming to achieve very low yields to naturally concentrate the fruit. The grapes are sorted in the vineyard and harvested by hand. Arriving at the Domaine, the grapes are sorted again and then traditional practices are used to make the wine. However, Henri makes sure that the must* and then the wine is never overworked. They intervene as little as possible to preserve the essence of the terroir’s identity.

*Must is the term for freshly pressed juice that for a red wine contains the skins, seeds and stems of the fruit. For a white wine must only refers to the juice.
