Tasting notes
The 2018 Puligny-Montrachet Les Champs Canet 1er Cru has a leaner bouquet than its peers, stony and rather austere, perhaps not engaging as much as its peers. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity, taut and fresh, quite saline in the mouth. A pleasant tangy, orange rind and lime-tinged finish lingers. Maybe missing some nuance, but it should age well in bottle. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 white tasting.

The 2018 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Champ Canet opens in the glass with hints of citrus oil, wheat toast, crisp green apple and flowers. Medium-bodied, bright and lively, with a delicate core of fruit and a saline finish, it's an open, moderately concentrated rendition of this cuvée that will drink well out of the gates.
The 2018 Puligny-Montrachet Champs Canet 1er Cru has a taut Granny Smith and limestone scented bouquet, reticent at first and only reluctantly unfolding in the glass. The palate is well balanced with a feisty entry that sets the stage for a thoroughly enjoyable vivacious, almost fleshy and flattering in the mouth at this early stage. Tempting to drink this now although it will age for 15+ years.
