What is this wine?
Henri Boillot is a benchmark domaine in the Côte de Beaune, known for precise, mineral-driven Chardonnays that rank among the region’s finest. Genevrières is one of Meursault’s greatest premiers crus, prized for its combination of richness and finesse, with vineyards planted on stony limestone and marl soils. The 2020 vintage in Burgundy was warm but balanced, producing concentrated, structured whites with remarkable tension and age-worthiness.
