Domaine Henri Boillot

Domaine Henri Boillot is the family estate in Volnay—distinct from the Henri Boillot négociant operation—managing holdings across several of the appellation's finest named premier cru vineyards. The domaine's Fremiets premier cru averages $90 across 79 lots, the most frequently traded wine, with the 2010 vintage leading transactions. Les Caillerets, widely considered Volnay's finest premier cru vineyard, averages $96 across 56 lots. The village Volnay at $170 average is notably elevated—higher than both premier crus—because auction lots of this wine are concentrated in exceptional older vintages rather than standard recent releases, inflating the per-bottle average significantly. Beaune Premier Cru Clos du Roi at $107 average provides the domaine's single departure from Volnay, documenting holdings across the Côte de Beaune's benchmark reds. The portfolio maximum of $738 reflects exceptional vintages of Les Caillerets or large formats. At 191 lots averaging $106, Domaine Henri Boillot is a well-regarded but market-accessible Volnay specialist: consistent quality across multiple premier cru vineyards without the extreme scarcity premiums of the appellation's most coveted addresses. The domaine is separate from Henri Boillot's négociant label, which spans multiple Burgundy appellations at significantly higher per-bottle prices. The domaine's focus on a handful of Volnay premier crus—rather than grand crus—reflects the Boillot family's deep roots in the appellation and their confidence in Volnay's ability to deliver collectible quality at moderate pricing.
