Domaine Henri Boillot - Puligny-Montrachet - 1er Cru Clos de la Mouchère 2024
The Domaine Henri Boillot is among the most prestigious names of the Côte de Beaune, with a strong base in Meursault and plots located on some of Burgundy's greatest terroirs. Heir to a long family tradition, Henri Boillot has built the domain's reputation on an absolute demand both in the vineyard and the cellar, seeking above all precision, purity, and depth of expression. The vineyard is worked with exemplary rigor, on complex clay-limestone soils, in a reasoned viticulture approach aiming to respect the natural balance of the plant and the terroir. Yields are controlled and the harvests are carried out at perfect maturity, an essential condition to produce wines with great aging potential. The domain is today unanimously recognized for the accuracy of its élevages and the clarity of its grands crus and premiers crus.

This historic monopole, located above the grands crus of Puligny-Montrachet, benefits from an exceptional terroir combining deep limestone soils and ideal exposure. Made exclusively from Chardonnay, this premier cru offers an expression of rare intensity, combining controlled power and mineral verticality. The 2024 vintage, marked by progressive maturity and beautiful freshness, allows the Clos de la Mouchère to express itself with precision, energy, and elegance. The vinification and aging are conducted with extreme finesse, aiming to enhance the terroir without ever dominating it. This cuvée embodies one of the most accomplished expressions of Chardonnay in Puligny-Montrachet.
On tasting, the wine reveals a complex and deep nose combining ripe white fruits, citrus, white flowers, and subtle buttery and toasted notes. The palate is ample, structured, and perfectly balanced, carried by a remarkable mineral tension that gives the wine great verticality. The texture is dense but always elegant, with an impressive sensation of depth and precision. The finish is long, persistent, and saline, leaving a lasting and refined imprint. This Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos de la Mouchère will ideally accompany noble fish, crustaceans, poultry in sauce, or exceptional gastronomy.
