Note di degustazione
The 2011 Puligny-Montrachet Les Pucelles bursts from the glass with tons of tension and pure unadulterated energy. This is pure class from start to finish. A sweet floral note adds lift on the close, but the Pucelles is about structure and minerality above all else. Anticipated maturity: 2014+. (Not yet released) Henri Boillot recently finished his move to a new modern cellar in Champ Lins, one of the industrial sections of Meursault. Boillot describes his 2011s as having a bit more richness and better balance of fruit and acidity than the 2010s. Based on what I tasted, it’s hard to argue that point. Boillot seems to be one case where the 2011s have the potential to be better across the board than the 2010s. As is often the case here, the village wines are particularly strong.
