Puligny-Montrachet

2000 Boillot Jean-Marc Puligny-Montrachet

By on June 30, 2005 #asides

Pale gold. The nose takes a while to do what’s expected of it as it’s rather diffuse to start with. Time brings out a little fat and finally sweet and slightly buttery fruit that more than hints at Puligny. This is nicely balanced with good fruit, good-enough acidity and reasonable length, but vs Jean-Marc’s 1997, 1998 & 1999 it’s currently a little harder to find that extra Puligny dimension. Tasty and still a nice wine.

2000 Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet

Pale gold. Quite an understated nose of white flowers, peach and grapefruit. A more intense fruit experience than Leflaive’s bourgogne, still a little oak and almost good acidity. The finish is longer than the Bourgogne too. For best effect, I’d suggest leaving this for 2 or 3 years while you drink the Bourgogne!
