The story of Domaine Henri Boillot begins in the late 19th century when Henri Boillot's great-grandfather, Etienne Boillot, first planted vineyards in the village of Volnay. Over the years, the domaine has been passed down through the family, with each generation contributing their expertise and passion for winemaking.

Today, Henri Boillot is at the helm of the domaine, continuing the family tradition of producing wines of exceptional quality and character. With a deep understanding of the terroir and a meticulous approach to winemaking, Henri Boillot has earned a reputation as one of Burgundy's most talented winemakers.

The style of production at Domaine Henri Boillot is rooted in tradition, with a focus on showcasing the unique characteristics of each vineyard site.

These vineyards are carefully tended throughout the year, with a commitment to sustainable farming practices and minimal intervention in the winemaking process.

The Pinot Noir wines produced by Domaine Henri Boillot are a true reflection of their terroir. They are elegant, complex, and expressive, with a purity of fruit and a sense of place that is unmistakably Burgundian.

Once in the cellar, the grapes are gently destemmed and undergo a cold maceration to extract the delicate aromas and flavors. Fermentation takes place in open-top wooden vats, allowing for gentle extraction and the development of complex flavors. The wines are then aged in French oak barrels, where they undergo a slow and careful maturation process.

The result is a range of Pinot Noir wines that are highly sought after by wine enthusiasts and collectors around the world. From the vibrant and fruit-forward Volnay wines to the structured and age-worthy Pommard wines, each bottle from Domaine Henri Boillot is a testament to the domaine's commitment to

The French Wine region of Burgundy (aka “Bourgogne”) may be small in size, but its influence is huge in the world of vino. The complexity of Burgundy can cast fear into the heart of even a seasoned wine pro, but fear not – the region need only be as complicated as you want it to be. Yes, it is home to some of the most expensive wines in the known universe, but there are also tasty and affordable wines.

Main grapes:

Pinot Noir originated in Burgundy and these vines cover 34% of the region, accounting for 29% of overall wine production. The red grape does extremely well in limestone and clay soil, which helps create their complexity. Pinot Noir wines from Burgundy range in colour from cherry to brick, are light in body, and typically have red fruit and spicy flavours. Gamay is a red grape also grown in Burgundy, but only makes up 10% of the vines.

Chardonnay is the primary grape for white wines in Burgundy, making up 48% of the vines and 68% of production. Chardonnay appreciates Burgundy’s marl soil, which gives it delicate floral, fruit, and mineral aromas and full-bodied flavours. Aligoté is the second white grape, accounting for 6% grown. {Read more about the ancient Aligoté grape in Burgundy.}

The region does produce a sparkling wine called Crémant de Bourgogne. It can be made from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Aligoté, Gamay, Sacy, and Melon. Varieties include blanc, blanc de blancs, blanc de noirs, and rosé.
