Tasting notes
There’s a touch of gunflint reduction here, adding an edge to the soft, approachable nose. It’s laden with plump, ripe peach, richer honey tones and more delicate honeysuckle aromas. But despite the wine’s round and generous profile, this isn’t at all heavy – with vibrancy and purity thanks to a citrus bite. Indulgent yet precise.

Fullish yellow, with a heady, honeyed richness. A little touch of bacon fat, more flesh in the mouth than I find ideal, then tightens up at the finish. Pears not peaches. Young vines here, the first to be picked, and they may have caught the sun just a fraction.
About the producer
Based in Meursault and farming some of the finest vineyards in the Côte de Beaune, Henri Boillot is a leading address in Burgundy. He crafts fine Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, but the estate is best known for its flagship monopole vineyard, Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru Clos de la Mouchère.
