Tasting notes
Piquant aromas of pineapple, underripe peach, lemon and minerals. Juicy, tight and high-pitched; pure, vibrant and minerally, with the wine's stoniness giving it a very dry impression. Even a bit youthfully rigid today, but this just completed its malo and is very unevolved. I find this to be a more classic version of Perrieres than the majority of the 2005 examples I tasted from this vineyard. (I did not taste Boillot's Meursaults Charmes, Poruzots or Cras, as they had barely started their malolactic fermentations.)

About the producer
Based in Meursault and farming some of the finest vineyards in the Côte de Beaune, Henri Boillot is a leading address in Burgundy. He crafts fine Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, but the estate is best known for its flagship monopole vineyard, Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru Clos de la Mouchère.
