Puligny-Montrachet

2001 Boillot Jean Puligny-Montrachet

By on October 31, 2005 #asides

Medium golden colour. Lots of oak on the nose, toasted bread, very savoury. The palate hints at an ever-improving waxy, soft texture, good acidity and a very good, savoury length. The intensity is above average for the appellation, giving a nice round feeling in the mouth. Today it’s a little too oak driven for my own taste, but this half-bottle was still sunk quite quickly after a hot game of ping-pong! I’d leave it another 2-3 years before revisiting, as all the material is present for a very above average village wine.

Today this wine shows more modest oak on the nose than the Bourgogne Blanc – but still hints at Puligny. There is concentration that’s well coupled with the acidity and medium-plus length. Not so outstanding at this level as the Bourgogne at its, but this is a very good bottle.

Medium lemon yellow. Quite an understated nose with more obvious citrus – quite classy. A fat and really very Puligny palate. Much more forward than the nose suggests. There’s super acidity and fine length. This is a very fine villages – and would be a pretty good 1er Cru!
