Boillot’s 2010 Puligny-Montrachet La Truffiere comes across as very tight today. There is plenty of textural elegance in the glass, but the aromas and flavors aren’t fully developed just yet. Veins of crystalline minerality flesh out on a bright, vibrant finish that is all about length. Anticipated maturity: 2014+.
This is an impressive set of wines from Jean-Marc Boillot. The 2010s are very clearly marked by their terroirs, a departure from vintages such as 2009 and 2011, where the wines are less vivid. Boillot began harvesting on September 19th. Natural alcohols came in around 12.8%-13.2%, pretty much the same as in 2011.
