The original post which was published on this day was accidently missed during the archive process and as Yahoo log is now defunct; that post is now forever lost. Try as I might, I cannot gather from what clues that now remain, what I actually wrote on that day. So to avoid "missing" a post for this day, I will fill in with a post from things which occur in May 2014 to fill the gap.
This is a wine I had at a dinner after a MedicoLegal Society meeting in May 2014. Noe although Premier Cru Chablis is my first love amongst white Burgundy, Puligny-Montrachet also has a special place in my heart. My wife and I really like the wines from Domaine Leflaive but they are getting really expensive now and so we don't drink them as often. This offering from Domaine J-M Boillot is the the most basic of a range of wines from that village, which extends right up to Grand Cru. Although based in Pommard (and with vineyards also in Languedoc), they seem to have the most holdings and wines of different appleations of various levels in Puligny-Montrachet.
As for the wine, it was a nice grolden yellow with a nice crisp nose carrying faint notes of grapefruit. The palate was crisp with grapefuit notes and a touch of wood, supported by a woody citrussy acid backbone.
