Critics Ratings

' Sexy aromas of peach, orange oil and smoky silex. . Concentrated, layered and utterly seamless, with peach and soft citrus fruit flavors lifted by powerful flinty minerality. A premier cru with grand cru perfume and inner-palate energy. This sharply delineated wine stains the palate and builds inexorably on the sappy aftertaste. Superb. (Incidentally, Boillot did not make a Chevalier-Montrachet in either 2009 or 2008.)' - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 95/100 (Sep 2011)

'The 2009 Puligny-Montrachet Clos de la Mouchere is hugely impressive. It bursts from the glass with layers of mineral-infused finish, showing tremendous energy and focus. Words can only fail in capturing the sheer beauty and completeness of the wine. The striking, pointed finish leaves a lasting impression.' - Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 94/100 (Aug 2011)

'Ye olde drama and struck match that I remember from olden days. Lots to get your teeth into here though a little more restrained on the finish than some earlier vintages. (I remember when - a much earlier vintage of - this was served on Concorde...) It should not prove a disappointment however. - Jancis Robinson, JancisRobinson.com, 17.5/20 (Jan 2011)
