2015 Domaine Henri Boillot, Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru, Clos de la Mouchere

The 2015 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos de la Mouchère, Boillot's emblematic cuvée, is one of the highlights of the range in 2015, opening in the glass with notes of struck flint, white peach, nutmeg and crushed chalk. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, powerful and intense, with great energy and tension at the core, its long finish concluding with chalky grip. More vertical than the expansive Pucelles, this is the most tensile premier cru in the cellar in 2015.

Bright lemon-yellow. Tight, pure scents of peach and spices; slightly reduced. Then huge, broad and mouthfilling yet almost magically light on its feet thanks to strong minerality. Tactile and dynamic for the vintage, finishing with slowly building length and terrific mineral force. Boillot believes his 2015s will drink early and late but I'd rather enjoy this one with at least a few years of bottle age.

Mouth-filling fruit – really juicy and distinct. Simply tremendous – gets all the savoury mineral flair of Puligny with great fruit clarity. (RH)
