Tasting Notes
Guillaume Boillot harvested just 8hl/ha in Volnay. The classic – and, in many people’s eyes, ultimate – expression of Volnay, Caillerets is a site with very little topsoil. Boillot’s 2021 bottling was a highlight of our tasting. Versus Frémiets, it offers a richer, cherry-fruit profile, with a whisper of sweet spice, yet it’s really all about its minerality and finesse. With mouth-watering acidity, this is elegant and long, with that ripe red berry fruit reverberating on the finish.
About the producer
Based in Meursault and farming some of the finest vineyards in the Côte de Beaune, Henri Boillot is a leading address in Burgundy. He crafts fine Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, but the estate is best known for its flagship monopole vineyard, Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru Clos de la Mouchère.
