From relatively young vines, the Boillot 2006 Puligny-Montrachet Les Caillerets smells of musky narcissus and sharp fresh lemon. Bright and high-toned, with a chalky mineral sense on the palate, this spare, bright wine penetrates with rapier sharpness and intensity, though it's anything but charming, and evinces a bit of finishing warmth. My suspicion is that I caught up with it on an uncooperative day. But even so, the987 focus and concentration here are formidable, and I suspect this should repay at least 6-8 years in the cellar. Henri Boillot's ambitious and burgeoning negociant arm is made up in large part of many small bottling lots, representing remarkably many of the Cote d-Or's most prestigious crus. -Precision and minerality- are words he offers to explain his intentions even in a vintage as ripe as 2006, and for the most part he walks the accompanying walk, with wines (largely assembled in tank) that showed more generously and expressively than did Boillot's estate wines on the same day.Importer: The Sorting Table, Napa, CA; tel.
