This premier cru is sometimes overlooked but ignore it at your peril! It is always a gorgeous wine, approachable when young, with hints of honeysuckle and summer blossom. There is a backbone of structure underneath a lovely fine style.

Stephen Tanzer, September 2018
Pale yellow with green highlights. Passion fruit on the nose. At once sweeter and less taut in the early going than usual for this cuvée, conveying a generous texture but an impression of lower acidity than the village offering. I don't find this wine's normal tension or cut--not to mention personality. The village wine is better in its context, and maybe longer as well. Still, Boillot made just three barrels of this wine, vs. a normal four, as he had mostly small grapes in 2017, without a lot of juice in them.
Region
Puligny Montrachet
Puligny Montrachet is known as the most delicate of the white wine appellations south of Beaune.Its wines tend to be linear and mineral offering delicate floral and orchard fruit aromatics. Its village and premier cru vineyard area total slightly over 200 hectares but almost half of them are premier cru making them one of the highest proportions of quality vineyards in the Côte de Beaune. Several grand cru vineyards are present, the most notable being Le Montrachet and Bâtard Montrachetwhich it shares with neighbouring Chassagne, but it does have the extraordinary Chevalier Montrachet and the tiny Bienvenues Bâtard Montrachet all to itself. There are a handful of red wines grown, but they tend to be quite light and need to be drunk in their youth.
