2015 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru “Les Perrières”
Domaine Lucien Boillot et FilsPierre Boillot is not known for his white wine making. That’s because of his broad portfolio of Burgundies, only one is made from Chardonnay. If you only do something once a year, do it right, ya know? Doing it right for Pierre means owning vines on the hallowed ground of the Puligny-Montrachet premier cru vineyard, Les Perrières. He’s a traditionalist with his reds, making Pinot Noir with a solid backbone of structure and earthy fruit—wines that take a few years to begin revealing themselves. He’s carried these practices over to this Perrières bottling. Mineral, flinty, palate-coating—traditional in style, or as the French like to say, “typique.”

About The Region
Burgundy
In eastern central France, Burgundy is nestled between the wine regions of Champagne to the north, the Jura to the east, the Loire to the west, and the Rhône to the south. This is the terroir par excellence for producing world-class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
The southeast-facing hillside between Dijon in the north and Maranges in the south is known as the Côte d’Or or “golden slope.” The Côte d’Or comprises two main sections, both composed of limestone and clay soils: the Côte de Nuits in the northern sector, and the Côte de Beaune in the south. Both areas produce magnificent whites and reds, although the Côte de Beaune produces more white wine and the Côte de Nuits more red.
Chablis is Burgundy’s northern outpost, known for its flinty and age-worthy Chardonnays planted in Kimmeridgian limestone on an ancient seabed. Vézelay is a smaller area south of Chablis with similar qualities, although the limestone there is not Kimmeridgian.
To the south of the Côte de Beaune, the Côte Chalonnaise extends from Chagny on its northern end, down past Chalon-sur-Saône and encompasses the appellations of Bouzeron in the north, followed by Rully, Mercurey, Givry, and Montagny.
Directly south of the Chalonnaise begins the Côte Mâconnais, which extends south past Mâcon to the hamlets of Fuissé, Vinzelles, Chaintré, and Saint-Véran. The Mâconnais is prime Chardonnay country and contains an incredible diversity of soils.
