2017 Jean-Marc Boillot Puligny Referts

(the highest of the vintage; from vines harvested first, on September 5). Pale, green-tinged yellow. Aromas of passion fruit and lemon are lifted by minerals and flowers. A step up in concentration and saline minerality from the foregoing samples but still an ultimately gentle wine in spite of its cut, conveying an almost exotic sweetness (two grams per liter r.s., vs. barely 0.5 gram for the village Puligny). These vines were planted the year Boillot was born (1950), which he joked `makes them young.` 88-91 points
