Goedhuis, December 2017
This premier cru is sometimes overlooked, but ignore it at your peril - this is always a very high class wine and is approachable when young. Stone fruit and citrus notes mingle on the nose, while there is bright freshness and firm textured drive through the palate. Gorgeous.

Stephen Tanzer, September 2018, Score: 90+
Light, bright yellow. Aromas of ripe apple and pear are lifted by flowers and spices, with a note of steely minerality emerging with aeration. Juicy, spicy, nicely delineated wine with ripe acidity and a light touch. Cool citrus and orchard fruit flavors are accented by a note of stony minerality. More fresh than rich, this stylish wine has the energy to expand in bottle over the medium term. 2022 - 2028

Domaine Jean-Marc Boillot
Jean-Marc and his children Lydie and Benjamin consistently make some of the most appealing and forward drinking wines from their significant holdings across Burgundy. Their range of Puligny Montrachet premiers crus shows impressive individual distinction. Jean-Marc’s family has a long and distinguished history in Burgundy. His grandfather was Etienne Sauzet, from whom he inherited vineyards in the early 1990s. He spent his early career working for the family domaine, Henri Boillot, before making the wine at Domaine Olivier Leflaive. In the 1980s he began making wine from his own vineyards which were significantly expanded with his Sauzet inheritance of an outstanding array of Puligny premier cru sites. The family have exported their uncomplicated but precise winemaking philosophy further south to the Côte Chalonnaise, and more recently, Mâcon.Region
Puligny Montrachet
Puligny Montrachet is known as the most delicate of the white wine appellations south of Beaune.Its wines tend to be linear and mineral offering delicate floral and orchard fruit aromatics. Its village and premier cru vineyard area total slightly over 200 hectares but almost half of them are premier cru making them one of the highest proportions of quality vineyards in the Côte de Beaune. Several grand cru vineyards are present, the most notable being Le Montrachet and Bâtard Montrachetwhich it shares with neighbouring Chassagne, but it does have the extraordinary Chevalier Montrachet and the tiny Bienvenues Bâtard Montrachet all to itself. There are a handful of red wines grown, but they tend to be quite light and need to be drunk in their youth.
