2019 Puligny-Montrachet 1. Cru Les Pucelles Domaine Boillot

Vibrant primrose. The Pucelles offers a high class nose without seducing me quite as much as the bouquet of the Puligny Perrières. The wine is a little thicker in texture, but doesn’t express itself with quite the same striking purity, detail and precision, but we are quibbling about nuances between superb wines.

The 2019 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Pucelles exhibits aromas of orange oil, toasted nuts, pear and white flowers, framed by a deft touch of new oak. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and enveloping, with an ample core of fruit and bright girdling acids, it concludes with a precise, mouthwatering finish.
