From 75cl, optically good cork, spongey at wine end, P+P. As noted on 10.07.2022, but this bottle a bit more advanced, near the end of pleasurable drinkability. 88P

From 75cl, good cork, P+P. Delicate citric/oak scent, perhaps a hint of struck match; skinny, simple and unabashedly citric (lemon and yellow grapefruit) entry; thin, razor sharp citric mid-palate, lacking the fat or muscle to convey minerality or depth, so I just register a (pleasant) sourness; clean, mouth-puckering finish. Texturally closer to cool-year Chablis than Puligny? Although I like sharp, slender wines, this is near the end of my tolerance spectrum. This bottle was flawless, no sign of oxidation, but it's probably time to drink up. 89P

Strågul farge. Frisk aroma med preg av sitrus, popcorn, voks, mineraler, lime, kalk og hvite blomster. I munn har den perfekt balanse mellom fedmen i frukten og frisk syre. Sitter lenge. Smaken ligger i samme leie som aroma. Drikker veldig godt nå, men vil sikkert holde fint i 5-10 år til. J.M. Boillot har i mange år vært min favoritt Puligny produsent og skuffer ikke her heller. 92+ p.

Nice yellow straw colour - medium pale. On the nose, aromas of buttered popcorn, mineral aromas and a touch of citrus with reductive aromas. Touch of hazelnut. Very dominant buttered popcorn. On the palate, the attack is frank with a good acidity quickly followed by the aromas found on the nose. A good concentration, and despite buttered flavours, the wine is not "fat", but quite well defined by the acidity. An enduring tensile strength. A good length. I like this, but I find it as mineral or more than a lot of Chassagne I have been tasting whereas I was expecting a touch more fruitiness. Gains a point due to its intensity, but looses a point as not particularly complex from the aroma perspective. This ressembles more a Roux Chassagne than a Ramonet or Colin. The following day, this went surprisingly well with a bo bun and nem (without peanuts). Ok, I really liked this, especially on day 2. Too bad it is 20% more expensive (in the shop I bought it) than the Colin that I enjoy at least as much (from a different shop). 90-91

Amazing Puligny Montrachet … balanced and energy.
Decant for 30 to 45 min

Very lime profile on palate, highly acidic. Buttery nose, not fruity but on the mineral side. I think has more years in it. Lovely PM village

Denne trenger mye luft eller 2 år til i kjelleren. Bra intensitet, men er forknytt rett etter åpning og fremstår mye bedre dag 2.
