What is this wine?
Domaine Henri Boillot is one of the Côte de Beaune’s most respected producers, crafting some of Burgundy’s most precise and mineral-driven whites. Chevalier-Montrachet is one of the crown jewels of Puligny-Montrachet, a Grand Cru vineyard situated just above Montrachet itself, prized for its finesse, minerality, and longevity. The 2017 vintage was a return to classic balance after several warmer years, producing whites with tension, energy, and clarity.
