2020 | Jean-Marc Boillot | Puligny Montrachet Champ-Canet

Delicious pale lemon colour with a few green reflexes. Fine pale lemon and lime. This is very classy on the nose, less sun-drenched than Garenne. Ripe lemon notes, quality white fruit behind, a fresh crystalline finish, then the fruit returns behind. There is a lot going on here. Very persistent.

Reviews:

• Vinous: The 2020 Puligny-Montrachet Champ Canet has a taut, crushed stone, fern scented bouquet, light Granny Smith apple scents emerging with time. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, fresh and vibrant with good tension and poise on the finish. Excellent.

• Jasper Morris: Fine pale lemon and lime. This is very classy on the nose, less sun-drenched than Garenne. Ripe lemon notes, quality white fruit behind, a fresh crystalline finish, then the fruit returns behind. There is a lot going on here. Very persistent.

Producer Information

Domaine J.M. Boillot (also known as Domaine Jean-Marc Boillot) is a Burgundy wine estate producing pure, aromatic wines from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The operation is based in Pommard but it makes a large range of wines from numerous appellations mostly located in the Côte de Beaune. Jean-Marc Boillot worked with his grandfather Henri Boillot between the late 60s and 1984 when he became winemaker for Olivier Leflaive. He created his own domaine in 1989 after inheriting vines from his grandfather, and later from his maternal grandmother, Etienne Sauzet's daughter. His brother Henri runs Domaine Henri Boillot in Volnay. Winemaking differs considerably between the red and white wines. The Pinot Noir fruit is destemmed and undergoes a cold maceration before fermentation. After basket pressing, it is aged in barrels (around 50 percent new oak) for around 16 months without racking. The Chardonnay grapes are pressed in pneumatic presses. The juice is racked off the heavy lees then fermented in oak barrels. The white wines are aged for around 11 months in oak, around 30 percent of which is new. The wines are not racked, although the lees are stirred weekly. Wines are sampled just before bottling to determine whether fining or filtration are required.
