Henri Boillot Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru Les Perrieres 2022

Henri Boillot Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Perrières 2022 is a poised and finely chiseled white Burgundy that showcases Puligny at its most precise and mineral. Crafted entirely from Chardonnay, this 1er Cru sits in one of the village’s most prized terroirs, delivering both intensity and refinement in equal measure. The 2022 vintage brings an extra touch of generosity to the classic, stony elegance that defines Les Perrières.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this wine shows a luminous pale gold color with green reflections, signaling both youth and freshness. The nose is finely detailed and focused: crushed limestone, lemon zest, white flowers, and cool orchard fruits, with hints of white peach, almond, and a discreet touch of fine oak spice. On the palate, it is taut, linear, and deeply mineral, with a saline edge that runs through the wine from start to finish. Citrus and stone fruit are wrapped around a vibrant core of acidity, supported by subtle notes of hazelnut, brioche, and chalk. The texture is both silky and firmly structured, promising excellent development with time in bottle. While already approachable in its youth with a brief decant, this 2022 has the structure and concentration to age gracefully for 8–12 years, gaining complexity and more pronounced nutty, honeyed nuances over time.

Production
Les Perrières is a celebrated 1er Cru climat in Puligny-Montrachet, known for its thin, stony soils rich in limestone over a well-drained subsoil, giving wines of great tension and precision. Henri Boillot works with meticulous, largely manual vineyard practices, focusing on low yields and optimal ripeness to capture purity rather than power. Grapes are hand-harvested and carefully sorted before a gentle pressing, followed by fermentation and élevage in French oak barrels, with a judicious use of new oak to frame but never dominate the wine. Extended lees contact adds texture and complexity while preserving the crystalline expression of terroir.

Food & Serving
This Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru shines with refined dishes: think butter-poached lobster, seared scallops, turbot or sole with beurre blanc, roasted free-range chicken with morels, or delicate veal dishes. It also pairs beautifully with high-quality Comté, aged Gruyère, or mild, creamy cheeses. Serve at 10–12°C (50–54°F) to highlight its precision and aromatic complexity. Young bottles benefit from 30–45 minutes in a decanter to allow the wine to open up and reveal its layered mineral and floral character.
