Domaine Henri Boillot Puligny Montrachet Mouchere 2008 Magnum (150cl) ELA
Domaine Henri Boillot Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos de la Mouchère 2008 is a white Burgundy wine made exclusively from Chardonnay. This cuvée comes from Clos de la Mouchère, a monopole of the estate in Puligny-Montrachet, enclosed within the Premier Cru Les Perrières. The clos covers approximately four hectares, a parcel origin that distinguishes this Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru from the 2008 vintage.

Histoire du domaine
The Boillot family has been involved in agriculture in Burgundy since 1885. Henri Boillot’s grandfather, also named Henri, was the first in the family to work the vines; his son Jean developed the estate. Henri Boillot joined the business in 1975 and became the winemaker. He set up a wine trading business in 1995 under the name Maison Henri Boillot. The first phase of cellars and a vinification facility was built in Meursault in 2000. In 2005, Henri Boillot bought out his brother and sister’s shares, enabling him to retain full ownership of the family estate. Guillaume Boillot then joined the estate in 2008; the cellars were extended in 2011, the year in which the estate also acquired vineyards in Puligny-Montrachet. Since 2012, Guillaume Boillot has been head of viticulture and is responsible for the vinification of the red wines, whilst Henri Boillot focuses on the white wines.
