Tasting notes
The 2019 Puligny-Montrachet Champ Canet 1er Cru has a slightly smudged, quite honeyed bouquet, and lacks the delineation of its peers. The aromatics imply a picking a day or two tardy, rendering it almost Sauternes-like in style. The palate is well balanced with fine density and notes of quince, white peaches and a subtle peppery element. Turning linear toward the finish, it finally brushes off the excessive richness displayed by the aromatics. This is a fine offering now, but is it suited for the long-term? Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

The 2019 Puligny-Montrachet Champ Canet 1er Cru has a very attractive nose with enticing scents of nectarine, tinned white peaches, Braeburn apples and a light chalky note. The palate is well balanced with orange pith, apricot and lychee notes on the entry. This Champ Canet has fine depth and good tension, the mouth tingling with spicy residues after it has departed. Excellent.
Yet another light nose from this address. Racy fruit, and no shortage of it, on the palate with almost painful crystalline acidity bodes well for the future. (JR)
