The domaine was established by Henri Boillot in 2005, although the Boillot family has a long history in winemaking that stretches back several generations. On the 2007 Grand Cru Corton-Charlemagne. "This wine is like a complex and graceful ballet between groups of dancers marked `fruit,` `mineral,` `floral,` and `animal.` These players include pear, apricot, and lime; chalk, white pepper, salt crustacean shell reduction, chicken broth, and a carpet of flowers. in short, the usual suspects. And here, too, we have soothing and seductive creaminess combined with refreshment, transparency to nuance, and electric energy (even though soothing seduction is not usually delivered by youthful Corton Charlemagne). This possesses all of these features, but to an exceptional degree, as well as a sense of purity and lift somehow perfectly compatible with detonative finishing intensity." Wine Advocate, 2009
