2014 Domaine Henri Boillot, Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru, Clos de la Mouchere

Vinous 94+

(Boillot’s four-hectare monopole within Les Perrières features a range of soil types; he takes two days to pick this fruit, assembling his batches at the very beginning): Knockout nose combines ripe stone fruits, lemon, lime, smoky minerals, clove and marzipan. Sappy and thick, with the brisk lemon and lime fruit element currently dominated by soil-driven saline minerality. This very backward, salty wine boasts terrific breadth and more than enough extract to buffer its five grams of acidity. Splendid. [Stephen Tanzer, 09/01/2016]

The 2014 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos de la Mouchère has a taut and linear, but intense bouquet with attractive apple blossom, flint and orange zest aromas that open with a sense of confidence in the glass. The palate is well balanced with quite a piercing citric entry. There is very good weight in the mouth here, feisty and spicy with a dab of fresh ginger perking up the finish. Give this a couple of years and you should have a fine Puligny-Montrachet. [Neal Martin, 28/09/2017]
