2010 J. M. Boillot, Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru, Les Referts

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 31/08/2012 I especially like the precision and nuance in the 2010 Puligny-Montrachet Les Referts, which comes across as cool and sophisticated in this vintage. This is a decidedly understated Referts endowed with superb purity in its floral and mineral notes. The wine turns a bit ethereal on the finish, but that does not detract from its overall balance. Anticipated maturity: 2013. This is an impressive set of wines from Jean-Marc Boillot. The 2010s are very clearly marked by their terroirs, a departure from vintages such as 2009 and 2011, where the wines are less vivid. Boillot began harvesting on September 19th. Natural alcohols came in around 12.8%-13.2%, pretty much the same as in 2011. ()

Quite rich and very bright. Solid and dense. Flattering. Citrus and dense. Drink: 2014-2019
