Domaine Henri Boillot, Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru, Les Pucelles 2017

The 2017 Puligny-Montrachet Les Pucelles 1er Cru has an intense bouquet of petrichor and light orange peel notes. It lacks a little harmony at first but then comes together nicely. The palate is elegant and sensual, offering a fine bead of acidity and orange pith and nectarine flavors. Lightly spiced and quite persistent on the finish, with some lime on the aftertaste. Very fine and undeniably very pretty. This will be difficult to resist. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting in Savigny-lès-Beaune.

Aromas of crisp orchard fruit, mandarin, beeswax and white flowers introduce the 2017 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Pucelles, a medium to full-bodied, chiseled wine, that represents a comparatively tensile, tight-knit rendition of this site, displaying good concentration, depth and length.
