A quick, unscheduled stop at this domain turned up some pristine and impressively concentrated wines. Henri Boillot shares his brother Jean-Marc obsession with cleanliness in the cellar (and like Jean-Marc makes very good red wines as well). Boillot makes substantial use of new oak, but prefers the 350-liter barrels he helped design with Fran篩s Freres, which provide a lower ratio of wood surface to wine volume. Boillot describes the '98 vintage as both fatter and higher in acidity than '97 but less minerally. Boillot's '98 Meursaults are unusually vivacious for the vintage. But then, he notes, most Meursault vines were harvested too late in '98, and are distinctly beyond ideal ripeness. Boillot also offers a number of negociant bottlings under the Maison Henri Boillot label, although time constraints limited my tastings of these wines to several extremely promising samples of '98. This is a superb source of white Burgundy (I expect to report on the red wines next winter), sure to become better known in the U.S. in the coming years.
