Tasting notes
Drunk from jeroboam, Boillot's 2014 Puligny-Montrachet Village remains youthful, offering up a gently reductive bouquet of crisp orchard fruit, ripe citrus, buttered toast and iodine, followed by a medium to full-bodied, taut and incisive palate with a satiny attack that segues into a nicely layered core, concluding with a saline finish.

A little muddy on the nose. Solid and ticks the boxes but it’s a tad soft – especially when tasted immediately after J M Boillot’s Combettes! Sour lemons on the end. Lots to chew on. (JR)
The 2014 Puligny-Montrachet Village from Henri Boillot has a tightly wound bouquet that needs some encouragement, but eventually reveals attractive flint and cold limestone scents, a touch of undergrowth in the background. The palate is fresh and vibrant with Granny Smith apple and pear, though I was seeking a little more joie-de-vivre on the rather abrupt finish. Hopefully that will come with bottle age.
Pale, green-tinged yellow. Musky peach on the nose. Supple and thick on the palate, with a sweet white peach flavor leavened by brisk saline minerality. Finishes with an inviting light touch. This very promising wine comes from several estate parcels located around the village.
About the producer
