Tasting notes
Pale yellow. Reticent aromas of lemon, lime and minerals. Less tough and stony than the Perrieres, but still quite firm for the vintage, offering complex flavors of lemon, lime and spices. The broad finish builds nicely, coating the palate with steely mineral flavors and a hint of black pepper. Much more Puligny than 2009 in style, and built to age.

Pure aromas of citrus fruits and flowers, plus a whiff of banana. Broad and open-knit in its texture, especially following the Perrieres, but there's plenty of underlying minerality here as well. The classically dry, rising finish saturates the palate with dusty stone. Boyer noted that this was the only vineyard with a "normal" yield in 2009, and that he made only about 45 hectoliters per hectare from the rest of his holdings.
