February 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

July 15, 2023 - Much better than the first bottle, this was rich, balanced with honey and caramel. So balanced and drinking perfectly.

June 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!)

7/1/2005 (link)(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.
