Henri Boillot, Puligny Montrachet Folatieres 1er Cru, 2013
🏰 Domaine Henri Boillot is a highly respected producer in Burgundy, particularly celebrated for his world-class white wines from Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet. The 2013 vintage for white Burgundy was challenging due to poor flowering and severe hailstorms, resulting in low yields but often high quality from top growers. The best 2013 whites are characterized by fine terroir definition, energetic acidity, intensity, and wonderful clarity, with some comparing them to the excellent 2010 vintage. Boillot's Puligny-Montrachet Folatières 1er Cru from this vintage would likely showcase these characteristics, offering a transparent and vibrant expression of this esteemed Premier Cru. 【 World-class white Burgundy from a revered producer 】
🍴 This exquisite Puligny-Montrachet would be a sublime pairing for delicate seafood, such as pan-seared scallops, lobster bisque, or grilled turbot. It also complements rich poultry dishes like roasted capon with cream sauce or fine white meats. For an Eastern pairing, consider steamed crab with Shaoxing wine or a refined abalone dish.
🥂 Ideal for a celebratory meal, a significant anniversary, or a serious white Burgundy tasting. Its complexity and vibrant acidity suggest it has excellent aging potential, but it's also showing beautifully now with some aeration.
BACKGROUND
Domaine Henri Boillot is a wine producer based in Meursault, France, is renowned for its red and white wines from Côtes de Beaune appellations. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are the primary grape varieties featured. The estate was named Domaine Jean Boillot until 2005, but was changed when Henri Boillot bought out his siblings in order to distinguish it from his brother's new Domaine Jean-Marc Boillot. Henri had previously set up Maison Henri Boillot for négociant wines and retains these labels to distinguish them from estate wines.
