Tasting Notes
An ultra-pure nose of dried white flowers, green apple, pear and wet stone introduces intensely mineral-driven flavors that are superbly well-delineated and exceptionally fine before culminating in an explosively long and bone dry yet not especially austere finish. This is a wine of crystalline purity that should live for years and, I expressly note, will require plenty of cellar time to realize its immense potential. In a word, brilliant. Tasted: Jun 11, 2013.

About the producer
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.
