Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru "La Garenne" 2004, Jean-Marc Boillot

I have been impressed by the wines from Jean-Marc Boillot as well as from Jean Boillot. The Jean-Marc Boillot domaine has no less than seven different Puligny 1er crus. Tasted at Le Montrachet restaurant this Puligny immediately expressed its class as well as the distinct mineral focus of the 2004 vintage. An elegant bouquet of Jurassic coast, oysters, sel de guerande and sun-dried lobster shell. Linear, intense and lemon-dominated on the palate. Refreshing slightly salty finish with good density and a strong core. Very, very good. Photo shows Puligny vineyards and the red clay top soil looking down the slope towards Puligny.
