2022 Puligny-Montrachet 1. Cru Clos Mouchere Henri Boillot

Mid yellow, with a biscuity touch. Seems unsubtle until you get to the palate which is super powerful but also with subtlety. This Monopole vineyard comprises four distinct terroirs though they are always assembled. An electric backbone stops the power overturning the balance. Yellow fruit, and then an extraordinary, indeed grand cru, weight. Incisive white fruit finish.

Guillaume Boillot continues to work his nearly four hectares of old vines in the Clos de la Mouchère in several parcels; we tasted each section separately. The vines near the wood surrounding Clos de la Garenne have bright citrus notes with hints of flint and mineral. Those near Clavoillon have more of a ripe pear and marzipan aroma; they are less focused but have more density, elegance and depth. The combination makes a superb wine that is one of the delights of Boillot's cellar.

Dybt gylden i glasset. Næsen byder på ristede kaffeagtige noter, sikkert både fra fadet og i form af reduktion. Som sædvanlig drøj som en nektar, lang og koncentreret i smagen, men perfekt afbalanceret med syre og mineralitet. Kan formentlig gemmes en rum tid.
