Lovely appetising first nose with the complex warmth of fresh-baked bread. Fruity, mineral, delicate and pure and mouthwatering palate. Perfect balance. Saltiness coming behind, really exciting. Almost expressive on the finish. 'Tilleul (lime-flower tea) and beeswax', says Henri. L&S (Dec 2012)

Pale yellow. Highly spicy aromas of sour lime candy and iodine. Wonderfully silky, thick and seamless; this could hardly be more different in texture from the Chevalier, which is all about subtlety and precision. The voluminous citrus and stone fruit flavors are deep enough to support their full load of vanillin oak. This will require patience. Rating: 92-95 Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (Sept 2012)
Boillot's 2011 Montrachet shows the finesse of Puligny in its understated, classy personality. Sweet floral and spiced notes add complexity and depth to the nuanced fruit. In 2011, the Montrachet is all about subtlety, but there is no shortage of character. Readers who like the more refined style of Puligny will find plenty to admire. It will be interesting to see where the 2011 goes over the coming year. Drinking range: 2014 - 2014 Rating: 94-96 Antonio Galloni, www.vinous.com (Aug 2012)
