Tasting notes
Boillot's monopole (solely owned), the 2001 Puligny-Montrachet Clos de la Mouchere explodes from the glass with a panoply of spices. Velvety-textured, this medium-bodied wine bursts on the palate with gorgeous purity, richness, and loads of apple, pear, liquid mineral, spice flavors. It is dense yet detailed, has outstanding fat, yet also displays exceptional grip. In short, this beauty has the components of a marvelous white Burgundy, including an impressively long, flavorful finish. Anticipated maturity: now-2010. Importer: Robert Kacher Selections, Washington, DC; tel. (202) 832-9083

(from 64-year-old vines) Slightly reduced, stunted nose hints at nuts. Big, rich, chewy and dense, with the combination of pronounced minerality and lively acids giving the wine a penetrating quality. Solid, stony and very long on the aftertaste.
