2017 Henri Boillot Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru Clos De La Mouchere - 1500ml
Wine With Bok - 9.5/10 Stars
CONSISTENTLY GREAT! Clos de la Mouchere, a Monopole plot from Les Perrieres in Puligny Montrachet, is such a fantastic wine that no white burgundy lover should pass up tasting this great plot. If you’re not a fan of Clos de la Mouchere, then something is wrong, as it consistently ranked as the top 3 premier cru for all the blind tastings I’ve ever attended. 2017 was no different, quality improved vastly compared to 2015. The nose was a stunner, with smoky bouquet that you can see the smoke oozing out from the glass, along with very focused and jackfruit driven aromas. It’s a big wine by any 1er cru standard, slightly bitter, thick juice (almost like good phlegm). Slowly it evolved into soft buttery notes, chewy and elegant fruits dominated the long finishing. Very impressive! (6/2019)

AA touch of mineral reduction can be found on the markedly floral-inflected nose of white peach, spice and discreet wood nuances. There is first-rate volume to the caressing yet powerful flavors that possess excellent mid-palate density before concluding in a highly energetic, complex and beautifully well-balanced finale. This isn't quite as structured as the Pucelles but it is still sufficiently prominent to make evident that here too patience will be rewarded. (6/2019)
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 94 Points
From an enclave within the premier cru Perrières, Boillot's 2017 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos de la Mouchère is utterly superb this year, wafting from the glass with aromas of lemon oil, mandarin orange, beeswax, iodine and subtle smoky reduction. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, satiny and layered, with striking volume and depth at the core, balanced by incisive acids that animate the long, mineral finish. Guillaume Boillot speculates that this monopole's comparative variety of mesoclimates and soil types lends the resulting wine greater complexity than would be the case with a small cuvée. (1/2019)
