Boillot picked his 2002 crop late, beginning on September 23 and eliminating, as he put it, the grapes that didn't please him.The crop level was in the very low 30 hectoliters-per-hectare range, and grape sugars were a very high 13% to 14%, with the Volnay tending to be around 14%.Boillot describes the 2002s as less black fruit in character than the '99s. They have more crunchy red fruit notes, and generally better acidity," he said. And of course the yields were lower in 2002."(Robert Kacher Selections, Washington D.C.

Henri Boillot offers a large number of superb white wines under his negociant label Maison Henri Boillot, but most of his reds are estate bottlings. While Boillot is not a proponent of very low yields for chardonnay, in the belief that tiny crop levels can produce unbalanced wines, he feels that severe crop reduction is the key to making concentrated, ageworthy pinot noir. He shoots for no more than 35 hectoliters per hectare, but in the tricky harvests of 2000 and 2001, yields were often much lower due to Boillot's strict elimination of rotten or underripe berries (he threw out nearly half his crop in 2000, and several of his 2001 cuvees were tiny as well). Following the 2001 harvest, Boillot completely destemmed his fruit, then carried out a 22-day cuvaison punching down the cap less than usual for fear of getting hard, dry wines. Boillot's red wines are now consistently among the most concentrated of the Cote de Beaune. (Robert Kacher Selections, Washington, D.C.)
