Goedhuis, December 2023
Generous and expressive, combining a soft creamy texture with characters of cracked hazelnut and vanilla fudge. Not overly powerful, but rather medium in weight, it is a fine reflection of village level quality, approachable for easy youthful drinking.

If there is one standout, ultra-reliable Puligny producer to put on a pedestal next to Sauzet, I would pick this one! And I wonder if splashing out on the Premiers Crus in 2022 might be a mistake. Of course, the wines are impressive, but they are uncommonly forward, and I like to think that the big wines need some time in the cellar to reveal their hidden qualities. This is not something I would recommend in 2022, and because the village wines are a little more forward than usual, and the best look impressive, I think that the wise money should invest in hedonism as opposed to longevity and, therefore, J-M Boillot’s wine was a must-buy in 2022.

Pale colour with a light green tint. A little smoky touch to the bouquet along with a fresh greengage bouquet, good intensity on the palate, a proper backbone, an immaculate Puligny of medium intensity. Drink from 2027-2032.
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
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.
