June 22, 2019 - Good bottle, my other bottle suffered from premox so was a little apprehensive. On open could immediately taste the minerality and a touch of acidity to hold this beautiful effort together. With some time to open up slight butter & cream, but definitely a mineral driven effort.

January 21, 2012 - Splash a glass of this wine in the faces of the "anything but chardonnay" crowd, once so common in the bourgeois salons of the early 2000s, and they wouldn't wash for a year.
As anyone bitten by the wine bug knows, when you have a true wine epiphany, words just don't seem sufficiently succinct to express the greatness; reviewing a wine like this feels plain silly.
On the one hand, this is a classic, mineral driven beauty with a core as hard and narrow as the blade of a german chef's knife splitting a grapefruit wedge, on the other hand there's the opulence of ambergris and the saturated sweetness of phenolically ripe grapes delivering it's magic as the wine blossoms in the glass.
If Chablis and Meursault are the Janus faces of chardonnay (steel and oak? limestone chalk and butter? freshness and ripe fruit?), this is the perfect specimen to proudly proclaim and exemplify the higher synthesis that can sometimes be found in Puligny-Montrachet.1 person found this helpful Comment -

June 22, 2010 - The wines of Yves Boyer-martenot (At the winery): A very intellectual nose with has a lot of things on it, including old bike wheels and a hint of something oxidized. Very very good but unique.
