2016 Puligny-Montrachet 1. Cru Clos Mouchere Henri Boillot

(from 60+ year old vines and the vineyard is a whopping 4 ha monopole within Perrières). A highly restrained nose requires considerable swirling to liberate the beautifully well-layered aromas of mineral reduction, white rose, spice, citrus and a wisp of exotic tea. Like the Pucelles there is excellent richness and detail and much more minerality-suffusing the almost painfully intense finale that is breathtaking in its persistence. This is a gem of a Puligny 1er and in 2016 is a lovely blend of power and finesse. In sum, this is a knockout. 96/2028+ .

(13.3% alcohol with 4.5 grams per liter acidity; cropped at 38 hectoliters per hectare, from vines up to 80 years of age): Bright light-medium yellow. Utterly pure scents of stone fruits, apricot, nuts and honeysuckle. Rich, deep, silky and moderately saline but also powerful and backward, displaying terrific precision and purity in the mouth. A superb, classic Clos de la Mouchère: utterly plush and seamless without being heavy or over the top. Boillot noted that he will slowly replant these very old vines in a series of tranches over the next 15 to 25 years.

4 hektar. Flot fersken og fad i næsen. Yderst flot frugt med masser af mineralitet, fersken, hvid blomst og vanilje. Meget reduktiv men åbner sig flot efter lidt tid i glasset. Lang afslutning og en flot dybde i vinen. 95 .

very mineral wine with great freshness, acidity and complexity. Intense, concentrated, refined and impressive length. Made from 50+ years old vines. Simply brilliant!
