April 22, 2024 - No notes but drinking very well. I’ll try to finish my remaining bottles by end 2025
November 12, 2023 - 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 ;-)
August 20, 2023 - 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
June 7, 2023 - Drank at 67
Complex, balance, depth, lovely
November 20, 2022 - Very classy, lovely soapy perfume, ripe fruit but has handled the hot year well
November 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.
August 24, 2022 - 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).
August 23, 2022 - 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.
February 22, 2022 - 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.
January 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.
