  There is a nice beam of acidity here with good Puligny body and cut and tasty notes of lemon, apple and wintergreen. The finishes is nicely complex with chalky minerals and tingly spices. Good but I had expected a bit more from this producer and vintage.

  Very enjoyable wine; first wine from Bouzereau; the nose shows ripe pear, apple crumble, a hint of citrus, and some oak spice. The palate is fresh, yet rich and has very good depth and concentration. This is really very good, though the oak is a bit too noticeable at this point for my preference. Definitely seems to have the concentration to resolve it I was just too nervous about premox to wait... overall this is a bit rounder with more oak and less minerality than I've found in the de Montille, Chartron, and Pousse d'Or examples from Le Caillerets, but nonetheless it is excellent and should improve for 5+ years.

  This is awesome and a huge step up from the '14 Bouzereau Genevrieres, which was lovely but fairly one-dimensional and very tight. This is also tight and young, but with a couple hours of air the citrus fruit opens up and this shows underlying minerals and layers of spice and deeper-toned fruit. Extremely elegant, very bright, and loads of dry extract, with the near-grand cru intensity. Highly enjoyable and very drinkable.

  Pale yellow color, sleek nose with honeysuckle and a cool fruit reminiscent of moonlight, peaches and a hint of pear, on the palate glorious, haunting resonance, faint hints of blueberry, a pure and succulent citrus with no rough edges, supremely elegant, a pristine long taut finish, slowly broadens with time, after an hour it shuts down, still very much approachable and enjoyable- but I do believe there is much to come here. A celestial wine. The resonance speaks to the site's continuity with Montrachet itself, but this is decidedly more ethereal- and wonderfully so. My kind of wine. (****)+, 2025-2040.
