Note di degustazione
This vineyard is just across the road from Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet and Bâtard-Montrachet – pedigree that shines through. Boillot’s vines are over 50 years old, lending the wine even more concentration. The nose is really expressive with zesty, pithy grapefruit and lime alongside chalky minerality. It’s long and pure with a straight line to it, yet a generosity of texture. It’s soft and silken but with great tension, the citrus fruit and chalky minerality driving the long finish.

The 2020 Puligny-Montrachet Les Pucelles 1er Cru has a flamboyant bouquet, upfront and generous, though it lacks mineralité and nuance. This is quite minty. Powerful and concentrated with a honeyed core of fruit, the 2020 may have slightly lower acidity. It displays real weight and heft, but maybe it's not as nuanced, and it's just a little austere on the finish. Moderate length. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.
Fine pale lemon and lime colour. An interesting bouquet with some faintly smoky notes joining the fruit. Summer flowers too. Then the classic chiselled style of this wonderful vineyard appears on the palate with a spectacular intensity of fruit to back it up, fully ripe apples, nothing lush, racy yet with volume of fruit, and length, of course.
Informazioni sul produttore
Based in Meursault and farming some of the finest vineyards in the Côte de Beaune, Henri Boillot is a leading address in Burgundy. He crafts fine Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, but the estate is best known for its flagship monopole vineyard, Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru Clos de la Mouchère.
