The 2020 Henri Boillot Corton-Charlemagne is a tightly wound masterpiece. Aromatics offer a refined interplay of green apple, white flowers, clove, and subtle toasted wood notes, underscored by flinty mineral reduction. On the palate, it delivers power and focus in equal measure—remarkably intense, muscular, and built around a sharply mineral-driven structure. Critics including Burghound awarded it 96 points, noting its exceptional extraction and dry, yet not austere, finish. Despite its allure, this beauty demands patience—peak drinking is expected from around 2032. 

Domaine Henri Boillot, rooted in Meursault’s legacy, is among Burgundy’s most expressive white wine producers. After establishing his namesake estate following a split from his brother in 2005, Henri focuses on sourcing fruit from premier terroirs—most notably Corton-Charlemagne. His approach combines traditional vineyard care with restrained intervention in the cellar, yielding whites that balance density with precision and a keen sense of place.
