"The 2010 Puligny-Montrachet Perrieres is all tension and focus. The aromas and flavors build beautifully in towards the layerd, explosive finish. I especially like the energy and sheer driven of the 2010 Perrieres. I can hardly wait to taste this from bottle . . . . 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."
