Based in Meursault, Henri Boillot is a family-owned estate renowned for its proficiency in producing exceptional red and white wines. Their white wines typically undergo fermentation in 350-litre barrels and are bottled after a careful maturation period of 18 months in barrels. This particular cuvée comes from `Les Caillerets’, a Premier Cru of the Volnay appellation where the domaine owns a 0.72-hectare plot. Burgundian winemakers will forever recall the 2016 vintage as a year marked by frost, mildew, and significant challenges. However, despite the initial setbacks, the ultimate quality of the 2016 vintage surpassed expectations, ultimately culminating in a more positive outcome.
