Bourgogne blanc ciel

Beautiful wines are like people ... the older they get, the more interesting their story becomes.

I've always enjoyed Jean-Marc Boillot's Premier Cru Volnay's --- long-lived, refined and gorgeous pinot noir.  However, his chardonnay is something special. 

JM Boillot's 1995 Puligny-Montrachet Clavoillon deserves special merit for its longevity and amazing complexity.  Lemon - honey - beeswax palate with come-hither minerality that makes you wish you had another bottle ...

If a premier-cru white Burgundy is this good after 18 years, then what would a grand-cru be like?
