| Community Tasting Notes (average 92.9 pts. and median of 93 pts. in 87 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Tim Heaton on 2/19/2024: A hauntingly good wine with perfect (ok, amazing is more like it) color/freshness. This is the type of experience that stays with me for months if not years. This particular bottle suggested it had another decade of drinking at a very high level still ahead. Maybe more. Wow wine. very highly recommended (462 views) | | | Tasted by LB88 on 7/15/2023 & rated 94 points: Much better than the first bottle, this was rich, balanced with honey and caramel. So balanced and drinking perfectly. (505 views) | | | Tasted by fclarity on 9/3/2022 & rated 92 points: Young, balanced, slightly oaky. May well improve with 5-10 years (1270 views) | | | Tasted by LB88 on 8/21/2022 & rated 93 points: This was rich and decadent with fresh pineapples and peaches on a great backbone of acidity and structure. (1197 views) | | | Tasted by Matt Neel on 6/10/2022: Rich, golden straw with a hint of green on the meniscus (still!). The nose is like a very large thing crammed down into the glass, swelling with butter toffee, cream(sicle), lemon confit, a subtle herbal note, and a powerful, almost smokey steel-foundry minerality — heady stuff, just this side of hot. The palate is dense with the glycerin of the vintage, of crystalline purity etched in filigree acidity, and fills every bit of one’s mouth with sumptuous balance, restating the flavor profile of the nose. Briefly, I even called this “hard,” as it was so youthful, but that mellowed. The wine is exactly à point, youthful and fresh yet mellowed, suave, and expansive. The finish lingers like a new lover. There is certainly oak present but it has integrated with effortless finesse. Spectacular wine, of grand cru quality if anything short of Chevalier-Montrachet can be. It’s been a long time since I’ve had a white Burgundy this good. (Thanks, Seth!) (1380 views) | | | Tasted by Seth Rosenberg on 6/10/2022 & rated 95 points: My bottle. Classic and pristine. Luscious and foreword nose. Rich with some lemon and butterscotch - not ox, just age and it's somewhat sweet and rich. Some oak. White florals. Matt says cream creamsicle and steel shavings. Rich and balanced on palate. Cream. Lemon. Lots of minerals. Long wide lemon and some green finish w sweet oak. Just lovely.
2 hours later. Palate and finish are off the charts. Minerals And green and a bit of pale. Long and perfect. (1474 views) | | | Tasted by Jd6725 on 6/25/2021 & rated 94 points: This wine really wowed on open. Didn't look or taste a day older than a 2012. Certainly not a 2002. Very tart and acidic at first but quickly came around for a while. Showed well next to a 1996 Bernard Morey Chassagne Caillerets(although this beat it out in the end as my white of the night). It did fade back to being a little too tart at the end of the night but its highs were great. 95 at peak, 92-93 otherwise. (1688 views) | | | Tasted by Kim Gerner on 2/26/2021 & rated 94 points: 1986 vertical Bordeaux Grand cru Classé etc (19 wines) - Wine tasting dinner semi blind (Nordsjaelland): The classical P-M style with the beloved popcorn from the oak. I just love it. However, in this white Burgundy 2002 flight it was surpassed by the same producer's Pucelles also from P-M which i scored 95 (1860 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 9/9/2020 & rated 94 points: Henri Boillot Clos de la Mouchère Vertical with Bonus Bottles (My home - Chicago IL): Wow, the best bottle of this wine I've ever had. Plenty of earth and some black truffle, but still so much mature and fresh orchard fruit with floral and spice hints. Clearly ripe, but enough brightening acidity, finishing with a long, minerally finish. (3003 views) | | | Tasted by Gridrocker on 4/18/2020 & rated 93 points: Last bottle. The best Mouchere I’ve ever had (and I have had many going back to the ‘86). At peak. Florals and ripe pit fruit on the nose. Very ripe and rich palate without being clumsy. Great balance. Just yum. I would drink up over the next year if I had more. A great example of what white burg can be when not poxed. (1933 views) | | | Tasted by schan109 on 2/15/2020 & rated 93 points: Fully matured and elegant (1805 views) | | | Tasted by Mistress of Wine on 1/24/2020: I keep thinking this will be fully mature but amazingly, not yet. Enough fruit to stand up to some oak. Complexity and length without a whiff of oxidation. (1759 views) | | | Tasted by SophieR on 12/30/2019 & rated 92 points: How often is an 18-year old Puligny Montrachet premier cru this close to perfect? Not quite great, just wonderful, and astonishingly youthful. In a blind tasting, I would have guessed its age as 7-10 years. Will the wonders of white Burgundy ever cease? (1502 views) | | | Tasted by peternelson on 10/14/2018 & rated 92 points: This was good but I thought it was over-extracted, a bit of oak in there, and a touch too ripe with papaya and tropical notes, and maybe it was a little high in alcohol as well. Guessed new world-style producer on this one. Still liked it though. Cannot believe this is 2002. Dirty Dozen at Grand Harbor. (2107 views) | | | Tasted by Mistress of Wine on 7/12/2018: Still light yellow. Aromas of lemon oil, herbs, and allspice. Lovely viscosity and an endless finish. This wine remains remarkably lively. (2010 views) | | | Tasted by shutto1992@gmail.com on 4/22/2018 & rated 97 points: In it's perfect drinking window. Velvet mouth feel, phenomenal nose which continued to intensify over an hour. Seamless and long aftertaste. Wow!!! . (2082 views) | | | Tasted by xwine on 4/19/2018: What a stunningly good wine. A billowy, flowery, unctuous wine. Pinpoint balance, at the same time creamy and laser-like. White flowers, pear, long finish. Really lovely. (1899 views) | | | Tasted by Trent Walker on 4/9/2018 & rated 94 points: Agree with David’s note below. Same moldy cork, same flavor profile. If you don’t like this you don’t like white burgundy. (1995 views) | | | Tasted by David Meddings on 4/8/2018 & rated 94 points: Opened an hour prior. Followed over two hours.
I was a bit concerned on seeing an impressive amount of mouldy cork under the capsule and that the cork was moistened across it's length. A quick sip allayed my doubts though and when we got to this an hour later it was singing. Medium to dark yellow and ever so slightly viscous on the pour. Flint, toasted oak and ripe lemons on the nose. Brisk attack, fanning out to a full bodied, exquisitely balanced amalgam of ripe orchard fruits, white flower notes, a mineral acidic spine, and deft use of oak adding a wonderful toasty spice top note.
Really sublime. I would love to have had this in amongst a flight of '02 Grand Crus as I am quite sure it would have outshone a number of them. A producer and bottling to look out for and purchase in long lived vintages. Let it sleep for 15 years and enjoy the magic of white Burgundy.

A-/A (1403 views) | | | Tasted by sandda on 12/26/2017 & rated 94 points: Was ready to write it off, was fab (1371 views) | | | Tasted by markydb on 9/22/2017 & rated 95 points: When it's right and this bottle was perfect, Boillot's PM Clos de la Mouchere is a magnificent white burgundy. A brilliant nose of orchard fruit, nuts and butter precede a palate staining heavenly mouth feel that leads to a never ending finish. Wow is not enough of a reaction. This is the wine you go through all the premixed bottles for. This is as good as a premier cru can get. (1692 views) | | | Tasted by MC on 7/28/2017: Similar to previous notes. Drinking well. A-/A (1823 views) | | | Tasted by MC on 5/20/2017: In a wonderful spot right now. All you can ask for. No signs of fading but why wait. A (1943 views) | | | Tasted by MC on 5/7/2017: Young in color, crisp and elegant, with nice fruit and a long finish. In a perfect spot.

Burgundy-Report (7/1/2005)
(Boillot Jean Puligny-Montrachet Clos de la Mouchère) As a comparison, I opened this directly after the 02 Jean Boillot villages Puligny. The same medium lemon-yellow. The nose is tighter and less expressive, still deep, but without doubt finer. The palate likewise is a little tighter, with a little more citrus. Where this wine transcends the villages is the haunting finish, it really does go on and on. There we have it, less boisterous than the villages, but with much more finesse and length. |

2022 harvest: idealwine.info | wine-searcher.comBurgundy Les vins de Bourgogne (Bureau interprofessionnel des vins de Bourgogne) (and in English)
Burgundy - The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Cote de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Cote de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Cote Chalonnaise and the Maconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Cote d'Or. Also included by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.

# 2013 Vintage Notes:
* "2013 is a vintage that 20 years ago would have been a disaster." - Will Lyons
* "low yields and highly variable reds, much better whites." - Bill Nanson
* "Virtually all wines were chaptalised, with a bit of sugar added before fermentation to increase the final alcohol level." - Jancis Robinson
# 2014 Vintage Notes:
"We have not had such splendid harvest weather for many years. This will ensure high quality (fragrant, classy and succulent are words already being used) across the board, up and down the hierarchy and well as consistently from south to north geographically apart from those vineyards ravaged by the hail at the end of June." - Clive Coates
# 2015 Vintage Notes:
"Low yields and warm weather allowed for ample ripeness, small berries and an early harvest. Quality is looking extremely fine, with some people whispering comparisons with the outstanding 2005 vintage. Acid levels in individual wines may be crucial." - Jancis Robinson
# 2017 Vintage Notes:
"Chablis suffered greatly from frost in 2017, resulting in very reduced volumes. As ever, the irony seems to be that what remains is very good quality, as it is in the Côte d’Or. Cooler nights across the region have resulted in higher-than-usual acidity, with good conditions throughout the harvest season allowing for ripe, healthy fruit." - Jancis Robinson
# 2018 Vintage Notes:
"The most successful region for red Burgundy in 2018 was the Côte de Beaune. The weather was ideal in this area, with just enough sunlight and rain to produce perfectly balanced wines naturally." - Vinfolio
