2014 Domaine Henri Boillot Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru "Les Pucelles"

Henri Boillot is widely regarded as one of the elite producers of white Burgundy, known for his incredible precision and technical mastery. The "Les Pucelles" vineyard is often considered the finest Premier Cru in Puligny-Montrachet, sitting directly adjacent to the Grand Cru Bâtard-Montrachet, and Boillot’s expression is frequently cited as a benchmark for the site.

The 2014 vintage is legendary for white Burgundy, described by many critics as one of the best of the 21st century. It produced wines with immense concentration, high acidity, and a crystalline purity that allows for extraordinary aging potential. Now over a decade old, this "Les Pucelles" is in a magnificent window of evolution.
