Domaine Henri Boillot Volnay 1er Cru "les Caillerets"

Henri is the 5th generation of the Boillot family. His son Guillaume joined the domaine a few years ago. In 2005 Henri Boillot bought out the shares of his brother and sister, and put his own name to his father’s domaine. The Domaine is now located in Meursault, consisting of 15 hectares split between white and red. Henri Boillot uses “lutte raisonne” meaning without using chemicals on the soil. White grapes are whole-bunch pressed, vinified without any batonage. The elevage is in 350L barrels, balance between new barrels and one year old barrels (never more). After fermentation the wine goes into the barrel, either new or one year old barrel. No racking, fining or filtering. The wines are bottled after 18 months in barrel and are generally described as pure, rich, accurate, powerful and brilliant.
