100% Chardonnay
Pale lemon and lime. The bouquet is immediately present, some fresh herbs as much as flowers, fresh apple too, this is quite austere up front, but with much more weight behind waiting to emerge. This is looking backward at the moment, but I expect it to blossom in the bottle. Jasper Morris – 90

Jean-Marc Boillot
Jean-Marc Boillot is the name behind a range of red and white Burgundy. Although Jean-Marc has now retired, his Pommard-based domaine, continues to grow under the capable hands of his daughter, Lydie, and her husband, François. Fortunate enough to be the grandson of one of Puligny-Montrachet’s greatest growers, Etienne Sauzet, Jean-Marc started the domaine after inheriting a prime selection of vineyards across Puligny-Montrachet. More recently, the dynamic winemaking family has further expanded operations into Mâcon and the Côte Chalonnaise as well as the Languedoc. But it is their Puligny portfolio that remains the most interesting part of their business with five Premier Cru sites giving a nuanced overview of the village and the subtle differences between its fascinating terroirs.
