Domaine Henri Boillot is a Burgundy producer based in Volnay, operating vineyards across multiple prestigious appellations in the Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits. The domaine produces both red and white wines, working exclusively with Burgundy's classic grape varieties of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

Volnay, where the domaine is headquartered, sits in the heart of the Côte de Beaune and is known for producing some of Burgundy's most elegant and refined Pinot Noir wines. The appellation's thin soils and favorable exposition create wines that are typically more delicate and perfumed than those from neighboring villages, with silky tannins and bright acidity. The region's limestone-rich soils also support exceptional Chardonnay production in white wine appellations.

The domaine's current portfolio spans from village-level Bourgogne wines to Grand Cru bottlings from Clos de Vougeot and Corton-Charlemagne. Their white wine production includes wines from Meursault, one of Burgundy's most celebrated white wine villages, alongside the Grand Cru Corton-Charlemagne. For reds, they work with premier cru sites like Volnay Les Fremiets, demonstrating their focus on terroir-driven wines across Burgundy's hierarchy of appellations.

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.
