2009 Boisset Jean-Claude Puligny-Montrachet Champs Gains

The nose shows lots of width with some subtle complexity. This is another wine starts relatively narrow in the mouth but gets wider and wider. Lovely balance and very nice indeed.

Elevage for the first time in 450 litre casks – and for 18 months. Pale colour. Wide nose though not so deep. Rippling acidity with perfect packaging for the mix of mineral and sweet flavours – it lingers beautifully…

Raised completely in one year-old barrels. Intense fruit on the nose. Superb concentration, mineral with a fine spine of acidity and many, many dimensions. Super complex and very fine. Yum.

2005 Boisset Jean-Claude Puligny-Montrachet Champs Gains

This was a very dry vineyard in 2005 which resulted in only 2.5 barrels of wine instead of closer to 7 – so no new oak. Because there was little juice in those harvested grapes Grégory had to use a very light pressure on his press. The nose is compact but quite deep. In the mouth it’s much more linear than the last wines but there’s richness to the texture and a tight core of fruit at its centre. This is very, very long. Bottled unfiltered with a slight fining. Another excellent wine.

4 barrels made. The nose has limited depth, but panoramic width. A sweet and concentrated, but not fat palate. Its ultra-clean flavours really burst through on the mid-palate, but is still somewhat linear in presentation. Today it’s a very primary wine, but I expect with a very bright future.
