| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.8 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 128 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Enfantterrible on 4/22/2024 & rated 93 points: No notes but drinking very well. I’ll try to finish my remaining bottles by end 2025 (135 views) | | | Tasted by Philippe_C on 11/12/2023 & rated 98 points: Huge nose of flint, matchstick, mineral, citrus, everything you expect in a high end Pulignt… Really grand Cru level, with huge tension, lasersharp mineral, has aged perfectly!!! I really need to wait a bit more for my white Burgundies to reach this level of maturity ;-) (1085 views) | | | Tasted by Enfantterrible on 8/20/2023 & rated 93 points: Continues to hum along. Fine lemon-lime and white flower flavours. Felt like it could go a while but may be at its peak. I’ll be drinking my bottles over the next 2 years (917 views) | | | Tasted by RayOB on 6/7/2023 & rated 93 points: Drank at 67
Complex, balance, depth, lovely (1157 views) | | | Tasted by wineamateur on 11/20/2022: Very classy, lovely soapy perfume, ripe fruit but has handled the hot year well (1763 views) | | | Tasted by Geoff7777 on 11/11/2022: Smoky, sweaty, slight salami bouquet which works better with food than it sounds. That salami on palate has been there from when I first tried this vintage. Went downhill with time in the glass. 17 The 2011 and 2013 Moucheres are, in my view, also lesser wines of this vineyard from having owned and drunk them earlier. (1652 views) | | | Tasted by jmoore431 on 8/24/2022 & rated 92 points: Served this as prelude to some great reds for Xavier94’s (belated) birthday tasting. I defer to his note though I remain far less enthused by the heavy-handed oak treatment at Boillot (fails to adequately integrate in comparison to nearly all other WB producers). (1789 views) | | | Tasted by Xavier94 on 8/23/2022 & rated 95 points: Tasted blind; thought this was a Grand Cru and I recall the ‘14 rendition of this also had Grand Cru intensity as well. The bold/overt style aside, I thought this was grandiose with its rich salted lemon bar/candied quality to the fruit with spearmint, fern and white blossom floral hints. Very Springtime on the nose with a morning dew element that is hard to describe further alongside yeasty complexity, even a whiff of sourdough bread with air time. Rich and ample and creamy in the mouth. Drinks younger than ‘09. The oak signature is present but appears to be integrating….I guess the jury is out on this, as the wine will never been all that subtle or have the flinty/mineral freshness of a typical Puiigny. (1755 views) | | | Tasted by mclanew on 2/22/2022 & rated 94 points: Popped and poured. This actually gets better with air as there is some notable reduction on the nose at first. The palate is very youthful and uncharacteristically for the vintage quite stony and minerally showing great lift and poise. This is really going to be a long ager for a premiere cru. (1907 views) | | | Tasted by LW31 on 1/25/2022: This is stellar. Really great energy and complexity. Long finish. Doesn’t show any 09 ripeness. Great now over next 3-5 years as this shows pleasing austerity still. (1715 views) | | | Tasted by etyc on 1/18/2022: Been a year since I last had this... Brought it (& an '18 Bernard Moreau Caillerets) to a "beat the '99 Leflaive Pucelles" theme'd dinner. Decanted for ~4+hrs by the time it was served (blinded) in the 1st-flight, along with the '99 Leflaive Pucelles (non-blinded) & a '93 Carillon BBM as well as a '96 Marc Morey Pucelles which were both blinded. This Boillot showed the youngest amongst all. Pale-yellow, this had a lovely nose that still had bits of flint/matchstick reduction, and at the same time, honeyed popcorn, and soon evolved to exude scents of flowers, lemons as well. Loaded with white & yellow fruits, this also showed chalk, ginger & bits of honey & lemon flavours, judged with a nice streak of minerality & acidity which all culminated in a long-tailed finish that rendered this more than a match for the '99 Leflaive Pucelles. '93 Carillon BBM won the flight, though (after much time in glass/airing), although it wasn't clearly defined if GCs were/weren't allowed... 🤣 (1883 views) | | | Tasted by chitowncdpguy on 1/17/2022: Some of my Boillots are coming up oxidized so I plan to drink them up. I was worried about this, but man, what a sublime bottle of wine this was! There are no signs of oxidation. Mineral flavors, bits of butterscotch, white fruit. Hard to stop sniffing it and start tasting it. It was a fine pairing with triple herb convection roasted turkey breast. And I come back to it, what an awesome nose. Chilled in the ice bucket but tasted best as it got warmer. (1465 views) | | | Tasted by flod on 1/3/2022 flawed bottle: This has always been too sulfury but last night was the worst. Undrinkable. Still bad hours later. Glad I had a backup. (1581 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 11/3/2021 & rated 92 points: Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeot Tasting (The Moll House - Chicago IL): Ripe stone and orchard fruit throughout with floral hints and still showing a bit of pronounced new oak, but that was not really obtrusive. Very good richness and freshness while clearly ripe. Tasted double blind, I immediately thought this Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru. Close. But much younger - I thought 2015. (2051 views) | | | Tasted by devraj on 10/9/2021 & rated 95 points: Pale yellow in color. Gorgeous aromas of white peach, meyer lemons, yellow florals and limestone/flint. Stunning palate shows exquisite balance of a focused beam of yellow citrus with sweet/sappy orchard fruits, good acidity and a long, saline, and intensely mineral finish. Tremendous showing. (1339 views) | | | Tasted by acyso on 4/27/2021 & rated 93 points: From half-bottle. Lots of popcorn from the oak and reduction here. The opulence of the vintage and the ripe fruit is on full display here, but despite that there is plenty of acidity to go around. Quite consistent with my previous half-bottle of this as well. At the end of the day, a textbook example of Boillot (premox notwithstanding). Delicious. (2909 views) | | | Tasted by acyso on 3/13/2021 & rated 93 points: Dinner from Isfahan (Chicago, IL): From half-bottle. An excellent showing -- I served it blind to a few experienced tasters and they thought it was a high-acid vintage like 2014 (which just goes to show how overblown the concerns about flabby 2009s were). Popcorny reduction (the good kind, as Henri might say), but lots of fruit thanks to the vintage. Admittedly I've had a premoxed bottle of this, but the ones that aren't are just absolutely stupendous. (2840 views) | | | Tasted by essconsults on 12/31/2020 & rated 89 points: Matchstick and buttered popcorn with a somewhat hot one dimensional finish. There is a ton of fruit buried under this somewhere, but this wine is not the epitome of elegance which a top flight WB should be. We just drink a glass of the 2019 Willi Schaefer Graacher Himmelreich Kabinett and I wanted to try the Boillot, as I keep hoping that the superlative reviews will ultimately prove correct. I realize that it’s apples and oranges but if you would like to drink a great bottle of wine that will only get better, at about $35 bottle or so I think the Schaefer is far far superior. (2089 views) | | | Tasted by chitowncdpguy on 12/22/2020: I can imagine that there might be a better expression of chard, but it is hard to imagine. This is gorgeous. On opening it has some smells of freshly engraved wood, or something like that. Sandalwood, some petrol, pears. Robust acidity. Long finish. Very nice. (1867 views) | | | Tasted by etyc on 12/9/2020: It's been 5-yrs since I last had this... Decanted for ~4+ hrs by the time we got to it. Despite the decanting, this still showed some reduction/struck-match/flint when poured. With air (in glass) & more time, notes of white-flowers, ginger, cream started to show. Great yellow-fruit intensity with a fresh cut & brightness on the palate led guesses to anything but '09. This should be long-lived given the showing. Very good! (2300 views) | | | Tasted by melzar on 11/27/2020 & rated 92 points: This wine may finally be coming around (or I'm learning to appreciate it). Reductive notes remain front and center and to my taste, dominate the nose and palate. No chance of premox here. I took the advice of another cellar tracker taster and decanted, leaving in the refrigerator for 2 hours prior to consumption. The result was a slight diminishment of the overt reduction to the point that I could appreciate the many attributes of this wine. Good acidity and fruit present. Long sweet finish. I'm learning to call the reduction "match stick" Will give my remaining bottle a few more years. (1504 views) | | | Tasted by Marcel NZ on 11/15/2020 & rated 96 points: Pale gold -lemon mineral nose , power and purity , drinking very well now / a touch of Boillot leanness to go with the mineral but a marvellous Puligny - fine for another few years (1415 views) | | | Tasted by jmoore431 on 11/14/2020 & rated 90 points: Another bottle of fine oak juice. (1397 views) | | | Tasted by Trent Walker on 11/8/2020 & rated 95 points: Excellent juice and my style. Linear minerals on the palate with a great acidic cut. I wouldn’t make fun of anyone who mistook for dauvissat. The nose transmits the touch of butter, metal, and gunflint that provides the complexity. Give this another few years. No rush. (1300 views) | | | Tasted by jmoore431 on 10/16/2020 & rated 90 points: Still loaded with oak, smoke, gunflint and brisk acidity. Oak lovers delight. Not mine.

2018 vintage: "marked by a wet spring, a superb summer and a good harvest"
2019 vintage reports
2021: "From a general standpoint, whether for white, rosé or red wines, 2021 is a year marked by quality in the Rhône Valley Vineyards. Structured, elegant, fresh and fruity will be the main keywords for this new vintage."
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
