Domaine François Villard - Condrieu - Deponcins 2023

What a great wine this Puligny-Montrachet les Champs Canet du domaine Jean-Marc Boillot is. The nose is very elegant, perfumed with citrus and just a hint of mango. The palate has a spicy, saline dynamic. This is a bewitching Puligny, rich, concentrated, with a chiseled texture. Floral and ripe fruit on the nose, pure orchard fruit on the palate, supported by a subtle vanilla woodiness. Clean freshness on the finish, and good persistence.

Jasper Norris: 94/100

Gorgeous gourmet white Burgundy than this Puligny-Montrachet 1er cru les Referts 2023 from domaine Jean-Marc Boillot. Mandarin and orange peel open from the glass, initially floral and generous, pre-empting the depth of terroir and tension on the palate, and giving energy. Powerful, complex and long.

Confidence blanc du Château Beaubois has a brilliant, slightly golden yellow color. The nose develops notes of mango, pear and cardamom evolving into aromas of white chocolate. The palate is ample, full-bodied and tasty with sweetness. Confidence is a wine of fine length enhanced by unexpected freshness.
