1995 Puligny Montrachet Champ Canet

Revealing fabulous aromas of deep candied fruit with a distinct spicy and slightly oaky feature, the Puligny Montrachet Champ Canet possesses a thick-textured mouth packed with concentrated and slightly leesy, fat fruits, and toasted hazelnuts. My tendency would be to drink this wine within 8 years or so to enjoy its decadent sultry aspects. This note is the result of tastings I did in Burgundy between January 7 and January 29. An asterisk indicates that the wine was produced from vineyards owned by this domaine. No asterisk indicates that the wine was produced from purchased fruit, must, or wine. Boudot believes that what characterizes his lower and medium level wines in the 1995 vintage is abundant concentrated, dry extract fruit - without great balancing acid...I agree. He is extremely excited about the '96s, saying they "exhibit phenomenally concentrated fruit and great balancing acid. " Importer: Vineyard Brands, Chester, VT; tel (802) 875-2139.
