Product Detail
Pure, glowing white with a pale yellow tinge, this is as always one of Burgundy's great white wines. There is a lovely layer of flesh and fruit, a marvellous intense backbone and a generous, almost smoky, intensely long finish. Beneficial reduction is woven in throughout.
The domaine has developed its white wine holdings, with four new cuves this year, arising out of Boissets purchase of Vincent Girardins business. Girardin had farming arrangements in Puligny- Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet Champ Gain Premier Cru, Bienvenues-Btard- Montrachet Grand Cru and a tiny holding of Chevalier-Montrachet: Monsieur Boisset has now bought these vineyards. As well as these excellent whites, Pierre Vincent considers 2014 to be one of his best red wine vintages, with something in common with 2006 and 2010.
