Reticent, mineral-driven aromas of yellow fruits, smoke and crushed stone, plus a hint of iodiney oyster-shell minerality. Broad, silky and fine-grained, conveying a powerful impression of terroir to its savory stone fruit, spice and salty mineral flavors. A wine of considerable finesse for its thickness and dimension, this beauty finishes with outstanding slow-mounting persistence and a light touch.

(this fruit was picked at 13.2% natural alcohol and finished at 13.5%; 4.5 g/l acidity with a pH of 3.17; always the highest in alcohol and acidity, owing in part to millerandage): Medium bright yellow. Fully ripe scents of stone and soft citrus fruits, hazelnut and spices, with a sexy musky note of nutty reduction. Suave on entry, then quite powerful, concentrated, salty and dry in the middle. Finishes penetrating and long, with some alcoholic warmth. This wine was demonstrably better on second taste and will benefit from several years of cellaring.

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.

Bright, pale yellow. Complex and complete on the nose, offering scents of peach, flowers and saline minerality. Boasts outstanding saline concentration and energy without any rough edges but quite tightly coiled today. This boasts remarkable palate presence for premier cru and its very slowly mounting, rising finish stains the palate. Serious potential here.

The 2021 Puligny-Montrachet Les Pucelles 1er Cru is at once incredibly elegant but also reticent, with bright acids that are especially prominent today, perhaps because of the lighter structure of the year. The 2021 will need time to come around, but I am optimistic. Tangerine oil, marzipan and lightly honeyed notes all lend nuance through the long, sustained finish. - Antonio Galloni

The 2019 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Pucelles exhibits aromas of orange oil, toasted nuts, pear and white flowers, framed by a deft touch of new oak. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and enveloping, with an ample core of fruit and bright girdling acids, it concludes with a precise, mouthwatering finish.

Boillot's 2018 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Pucelles reveals aromas of orange oil, white flowers and peaches, complemented by classy top notes of nutmeg and warm bread. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and vibrant, with quite a tensile, tight-knit core for this typically enveloping premier cru. But looking back through my notes, that often seems to be the case chez Boillot.

The 2015 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Pucelles is superb, wafting from the glass with notes of yellow stone fruit, iodine and noble reduction—its bouquet more reserved than the Perrières and Combettes which preceded it in our tasting. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and elegantly glossy, with grand cru depth and dimension, sustained by superb cut and tension.

The 2011 Puligny-Montrachet Les Pucelles bursts from the glass with tons of tension and pure unadulterated energy. This is pure class from start to finish. A sweet floral note adds lift on the close, but the Pucelles is about structure and minerality above all else. Anticipated maturity: 2014+. (Not yet released) Henri Boillot recently finished his move to a new modern cellar in Champ Lins, one of the industrial sections of Meursault. Boillot describes his 2011s as having a bit more richness and better balance of fruit and acidity than the 2010s. Based on what I tasted, it’s hard to argue that point. Boillot seems to be one case where the 2011s have the potential to be better across the board than the 2010s. As is often the case here, the village wines are particularly strong.

The 2010 Puligny-Montrachet Les Pucelles is a big, bombastic wine. It possesses marvelous integrity and structure to balance some of the more overt qualities in the fruit. This is a hugely promising wine from Henri Boillot. Anticipated maturity: 2015+. Henri Boillot began harvesting on September 3rd, which he thought was critical in maintaining as much freshness as possible. All of the wines were aged in 350-liter light-toast Francois Freres barrels, with no batonnage. These are some of the most viscerally thrilling, textured 2009s readers will come across. Boillot’s ever-growing collection of negociant wines is reviewed separately. I tasted with Boillot at his Volnay facility, and was thus able to only taste a handful of 2010s, all Domaine (rather than Maison) wines. The 2010s I did taste were exciting and hugely promising.

The 2009 Puligny-Montrachet Les Pucelles is quite intense and rich, but not over the top. It possesses dazzling mid-palate depth and a layered, compelling finish. This is an impressive showing.

Boillot's estate 2007 Puligny-Montrachet Les Pucelles delivers the vibratory interplay of floral, mineral, and fruit elements that one hopes for from this great site in its vintage. Reminiscent of the Perrieres in aromas of peach and quince, here allied to iris and suggestions of high-toned herbal and floral distillates, this lights up the palate, with citrus and hints of nettle and white pepper serving for an almost electric invigoration. Yet, ample glycerin makes for a flattering texture and ameliorates any tendency toward sharpness. It should perform beautifully over the coming decade, doubtless gaining richness in the process. As explained in my report in issue 180, Henri Boillot’s domaine is now legally known by his name rather than that of his father Jean, and is thus eponymous with his negociant business. Furthermore, given what seems to be a stylistic convergence as well as given Boillot's own preference in presenting his wines this year, I have folded together the coverage of these two entities, noting in the text of my notes those wines that come from the domaine. Boillot did not begin picking until the second week in September, harvesting fruit that he reported required only occasional, minimal chaptalization and had higher tartaric than malic acid, in contrast to their proportions in 2008. Since Boillot managed to achieve his ideals of “precision and minerality” even in the ripe 2006 vintage, it will come as no surprise that they have been brilliantly achieved in 2007. A preference for volume of healthy lees rather than their stirring and (as mentioned in my report on his 2006s) the utilization of 350-liter barrels rather than barriques are surely among the factors that permit these wines to marry richness with refreshment and clarity. On the other hand, even the wines of lesser appellation that receive less barrel exposure are still given extended time on their fine lees in tank before bottling, Boillot being a believer that "time is of the essence" to great white Burgundy, not in the proverbial sense but rather in that of taking enough if it.

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.

The 2013 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru les Pucelles has the most expressive bouquet with bruised apple, Conference pear and limestone scents soaring from the glass. The palate is clean and crisp with almost piercing citric acidity, superb tension and a clean and precise finish, not unlike the Pucelles that I had just tasted chez Anne-Claude Leflaive. This has a long tail on the finish - excellent.

Henri Boillot's 2006 Puligny-Montrachet Les Pucelles displays a depth and grip that go well beyond the other wines in his collection. Aromas of ripe peach and nectarine, apple blossom, lemon, and a bitter, cyanic note introduce the bitter-sweet yet refreshingly citric themes on a peachy, lemony, nutty palate. An undertone of chalky minerality is unmistakable, leading into a long finish poised between fruit generosity and adamant minerality. The toasted notes of 50% new wood are evident throughout, but without seeming at all out of place. Henri Boillot's domaine will now be known by his name rather than that of his father Jean, and will thus be eponymous with his ambitious and burgeoning negociant collection. But precisely because the latter line-up is so lengthy, and because certain differences in approach (and certainly a different cellar environment) apply to each of Boillot's businesses, I have treated his negociant wines under a separate heading. Boillot began harvesting five days ahead of the ban de vendange, and the precautions he took to preserve freshness in his 2006 wines overlap with those he has taken generally in an attempt to ward off premature oxidation. He performed no batonnage, and planned to monitor the assembled wines in tank over an extended period. These domaine wines were less generous - almost severe - the day I tasted, when compared with the corresponding negociant wines, perhaps in part due to the former having been racked to tank less than three weeks prior.
