Goedhuis, March 2022
A ¼ of a ha vineyard from vines grown on the chalk based soils facing south and south-west produces a very giving style. This wine offers the prefect combination of mineral tension and attractive buttery richness. The 25% new oak provides a creamy texture and gives the impression of a wine significantly more senior in a Côte de Beaune mould. Full, rich and concentrated.

Pale lemon and lime with both fruit and gunflint on the nose. Tension up front but does not fill out the rest of the palate quite as much as the Busserettes bottling or indeed the excellent
Producer
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
Mâcon
Lying to the south of the Cote Chalonnaise and the north of Beaujolais, the town of Macon gives its name to wines produced from vineyards scattered among the surrounding villages. The climate is warmer than the Côte d'Or giving wines greater exposure to sun, less rain and reduced risk offrost. The vast majority are fresh, approachable whites made from Chardonnay. Reds and roses are also made principally from Gamay and a tiny amount of Pinot Noir.
