Description
What kind of wine it is
Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Perrieres by Henri Boillot is a still white wine from Burgundy. Made from Chardonnay, it displays a straw yellow colour with bright green highlights. The bouquet releases delicate aromas of white flowers, spicy notes, subtle hints of pepper, and a distinct mineral character. On the palate, it reveals a precise and elegant style, characterised by fine density and a pronounced saline savouriness. Its bright and delicate sip pairs beautifully with vegetarian dishes, recipes based on lean fish, fine poultry, and selections of mature cheeses.
Where it comes from
This wine originates from the prestigious Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru appellation, in the viticultural heart of the Côte de Beaune. The vineyards, consisting of vines over forty years old, are rooted in clay and limestone soils. This specific geological composition is fundamental in giving the wine its vibrant gustatory tension and clear aromatic definition. The vineyard management follows the strict principles of organic and sustainable agriculture, a respectful approach to the ecosystem designed to deliver the most authentic expression of the terroir in the glass.
How it is produced
The vinification process is carefully designed to integrate the wine's structure while enhancing the purity of the fruit. Ageing takes place half in new oak barrels and the remainder in single-varietal barrels, a method that enriches the wine's density without compromising its natural freshness. Boasting significant ageing potential, capable of evolving beautifully in the cellar for between ten and fifteen years, this white offers a harmonious experience. To fully appreciate its sensory profile, a serving temperature between twelve and fourteen degrees is recommended.
History and Curiosities
The Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Perrières 2022 by Henri Boillot is an excellent Burgundy Chardonnay, produced from 55-year-old vines cultivated using an organic approach.
