2018 Domaine Henri Boillot, Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru, Clos de la Mouchere 1x750ml

Vinous 93

The 2018 Puligny-Montrachet Clos de la Mouchere 1er Cru has yet another reductive nose that at present obscures the terroir expression. The palate is well balanced with a saline entry. Plenty of concentration here and the acidity is taut and lends adequate tension. Touches of sour lemon on the marine-influenced finish. Give this 3-4 years in bottle and then plenty of time in a decanter. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 white tasting. [Neal Martin, 22/11/2022]

Boillot’s emblematic 2018 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos de la Mouchere has turned out brilliantly, wafting from the glass with aromas of pear, hazelnut, dried white flowers, citrus oil, blanched almonds and smoke. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, deep and multidimensional, with terrific concentration, searing levels of extract and a long, mineral finish. [William Kelley, 07/01/2020]
