Tasting notes
Brisk lemon aroma complemented by sexy oak char. Dense, rich and taut, with terrific inner-mouth energy to the citrus, stone fruit and spice flavors. Classic Boillot white Burgundy in its tension, purity and brisk acidity. Boillot loves this wine, but his daughter Lydie prefers the roundness and the buttery-rich side of the Combettes in 2010. Tightly coiled, very long wine with the spine for a graceful evolution in bottle.

Boillot's 2010 Puligny-Montrachet La Truffière comes across as very tight today. There is plenty of textural elegance in the glass, but the aromas and flavors aren't fully developed just yet. Veins of crystalline minerality flesh out on a bright, vibrant finish that is all about length.
Boillot’s 2010 Puligny-Montrachet La Truffiere comes across as very tight today. There is plenty of textural elegance in the glass, but the aromas and flavors aren’t fully developed just yet. Veins of crystalline minerality flesh out on a bright, vibrant finish that is all about length. Anticipated maturity: 2014+. This is an impressive set of wines from Jean-Marc Boillot. The 2010s are very clearly marked by their terroirs, a departure from vintages such as 2009 and 2011, where the wines are less vivid. Boillot began harvesting on September 19th. Natural alcohols came in around 12.8%-13.2%, pretty much the same as in 2011. Importer: Vineyard Brands, Birmingham, AL; tel. (205) 980-8802
Bright yellow. Classic steely aromas of fresh peach, nut oil and stone. Densely packed and sweet, with pure, penetrating flavors of white peach and white flowers. Quite backward today and a bit dominated by its acids. This is evolving slowly.
