2007 Henri Boillot Puligny Mont 1er Cru Mouchere

2007 Puligny Mont 1er Cru Mouchere has an ideal union of richness and energy.

Boillots have been farming in Burgundy since 1855. Henri launched his own negociant business in 1984 and after impressing his grandfather he rejoined the estate, changing the name to Domaine Henri Boillot. Today, Domaine Henri Boillot consists of 14 hectares evenly split between white and red. Boillot is
fanatical about farming. He avoids
insecticides and herbicides, preferring sustainable farming techniques to preserve the integrity of the soil. Vines are pruned heavily in the spring to ensure low yields. The fruit is harvested as late as possible to achieve maximum phenolic maturity.

"From his estate's monopole within Perrieres, Henri Boillot's 2007 Puligny-Montrachet Clos de la Mouchere displays aromas of white peach, apricot, musk melon, and grapefruit. Ripely-fruited and creamily-textured on the palate, this achieves an invigorating grip in its finish thanks to fruit skin, citrus zest, chalk dust, brown spices, and pepper. This outstanding union of richness with energy and refreshment should be worth following for 6-8 years." 93 points, Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate, 2009
