Marthe Henry

Marthe Henry Boillot, the granddaughter of Pierre Boillot, a prominent figure in Meursault, made a significant career shift from journalism to winemaking. After working with Pierre-Henri Rougeot at Domaine Rougeot, she decided to establish her negoce in 2017. Marthe's winemaking philosophy centres around simplicity and authenticity. Her commitment to a minimal intervention method reflects her deep respect for the winemaking tradition.

Marthe sources grapes from organic vineyards and collaborators who share her dedication to sustainable viticulture. To preserve their natural essence and character, the wines are fermented with natural yeast, 100% whole bunch, unfined, unfiltered, and only receive a minimal amount of sulfites at the bottling stage.

Emphasizing quality and meticulous craftsmanship, Marthe's wines undergo a lengthy ageing process in oak barrels, typically lasting at least 18 months, longer than the normal 12 months that many others do, as her cellar has an optimal condition where it could let the wines rest peacefully without temperature interference.

Marthe produces some of the most energetic yet charming wines, without lacking precision and authenticity. In a significant development in 2023, Marthe regained access to her family's vineyards, including prized plots such as Meursault Charmes and Volnay Santenots-du-Milieu. 

To avoid confusion with other Domaines, since vintage 2020, the wines have been labelled as Marthe Henry instead of Marthe Henry Boillot.
