Boyer-Martenot Puligny-Montrachet 1er cru “Cailleret” 2023

Vincent Boyer somehow continues to fly a bit under the radar of much of the international wine press. He’s an insiders’ producer with a mouthwatering collection of terroirs; together with his sister Sylvie who handles much of the viticulture, they continue to turn out magnificent expressions of their unparalleled terroir. Boyer’s 2023s are simply delicious – juicy and fleshy and approachable, but with excellent tension and low alcohol.

Puligny-Montrachet 1er cru “Cailleret” is a tiny five-owner premier cru just a stone’s throw from the Grand Cru Chevalier Montrachet. Dark yellow fruit joins a savory limestone nose with a splash of salinity. In the mouth it’s intensely concentrated and very fine – a simply regal white Burgundy.
