It is with great sadness and emotion that I am writing these few lines summarising my 35 years of winemaking; unfortunately, 2020 will be my finalcreation and my last vintage. Ending on a 2020 vintage is rather amusing, but for me a feeling of melancholy dominates.

But his desire to explore the potential of a wider range of terroirs has led him to create the Maison Henri Boillot. This is another example of the new phenomenon of 'super-négociants' - top winemakers who source small parcels of the best grapes, and use thei...
