For more on Henri Boillot, readers may want to take a look at notes from the complete collection of 2011s tasted from barrel here. Boillot comments that his 2011s have not shut down post bottling as the 2010s did. I am not sure that applies to the Genevrières, but that is true of the other three wines I tasted from bottle. We will be posting notes on the 2012s within the next week or so.

Henri Boillot describes his 2011s as more floral and fruity than his 2010s but less mineral."It's like the difference between Meursault Genevrieres and Perrieres," he summarized."The Genevrieres is all about fruit while the Perrieres is rocky and saline. Two thousand eleven is characterized by lichee, peach and ripe pear:white fruits.But the vintage also has a good vertebral column, similar to 2010."As is his habit, Boillot picked his chardonnay early ("I wanted spine"), beginning on August 29.Acidity levels are in the sound 4.15 to 4.5 grams-per-liter range and pHs are low.The wines are bone-dry (under one gram per liter, according to Boillot), but he noted that "creaminess gives them gras and sucrosite."Boillot has made some of the finest wines of the vintage in 2011.

Henri Boillot recently finished his move to a new modern cellar in Champ Lins, one of the industrial sections of Meursault. Boillot describes his 2011s as having a bit more richness and better balance of fruit and acidity than the 2010s. Based on what I tasted, it's hard to argue that point. Boillot seems to be one case where the 2011s have the potential to be better across the board than the 2010s. As is often the case here, the village wines are particularly strong.
