The 2010 Puligny-Montrachet Les Pucelles is a big, bombastic wine. It possesses marvelous integrity and structure to balance some of the more overt qualities in the fruit. This is a hugely promising wine from Henri Boillot. Anticipated maturity: 2015+. Henri Boillot began harvesting on September 3rd, which he thought was critical in maintaining as much freshness as possible. All of the wines were aged in 350-liter light-toast Francois Freres barrels, with no batonnage. These are some of the most viscerally thrilling, textured 2009s readers will come across. Boillot's ever-growing collection of negociant wines is reviewed separately. I tasted with Boillot at his Volnay facility, and was thus able to only taste a handful of 2010s, all Domaine (rather than Maison) wines. The 2010s I did taste were exciting and hugely promising.
