The palate leans to the richer side compared to other Perrières, though there is sufficient acidity to maintain freshness. Lightly-spiced; ginger and lemongrass emerge towards the finish, that should be tamed by time, so stick it away for a few years. Promising. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 white tasting.In Bond€947.00 -

The 2015 Pommard 1er Cru Clos des Poutures has a generous raspberry coulis and cranberry scented bouquet, a puff of chalk dust in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with an austere entry, a classically styled Pommard that needs a little more flesh and density on the finish. I suspect it would show better with another year in bottle.In Bond€631.00 -

The 2017 Pommard Clos des Poutures 1er Cru has a fresh, undergrowth-tinged bouquet that is a little loose-knit at the moment, though I am sure it will muster more cohesion with time. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin. This is an elegant, beautifully poised Pommard with a pretty, peppery finish, the oak neatly embroidered. Not long-term, but certainly well crafted by Armand Heitz.In Bond€682.00 -
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (94-96)
Pale primrose, oak and ripe fruit to the nose. Intense concentration here, lively fruit, crystalline notes, lively orange blossom, very high quality. This also needs much longer elevage to show its paces but the quality is already apparent.In Bond€6,995.00 -

Mostly Aloxe with a touch of Pernand. Quite a full lemon yellow. The bouquet offers a balanced ripeness, with flinty notes more than opulent fruit. This Corton-Charlemagne shows very lively, white fruit, a little citrus, river bed minerals behind, and excellent persistence. Lots of crunch to finish. Drink from 2030-2038. Tasted: December 2023.In Bond€2,140.00 -

Vinous (94-97)
Slightly hazy due to a recent stirring of the lees. Highly complex nose combines candied lemon, pineapple, menthol, linden tea, ginger and caramel. Thick and seamless in texture and showing a slightly exotic candied quality, but racy acidity gives sharp relief to the intense orange and lemon zest fruit. Really echoes on the gripping finish, showing a whiplash of citrus and saline flavors. These were the latest-picked vines in 2012, along with the Batard and Corton-Charlemagne, but this stunning wine remains just on the right side of surmaturite.In Bond€10,135.00 -

Boillot's emblematic 2018 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos de la Mouchère 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.In Bond€1,340.00 -
Vinous (91-94)
More oaky and less open on the nose than the Combettes: always the least exuberant of these premier crus, notes Boillot. Dense but tightly wound, showing terrific energy to its chewy flavors of lemon oil, flowers and salty minerals. The slowly building, chewy, gripping finish suggests that this wine will blossom with time in bottle. The pH here is 3.19 and the acidity relatively high at 4.7 grams per liter, according to Boillot.In Bond€1,160.00
