2020 Puligny Montrachet Champ Canet
Buying options
Tasting notes
Champ-Canet as a vineyard has very little topsoil with lots of flint, which produces very mineral-driven wines and naturally small berry fruit, full of concentration. The 2020 has great floral lift, lovely aromatic expression with delicate chamomile and lily-of-the-valley aromas. There is impressive volume on the palate, which is expansive and rich. The white floral notes intersperse with apricot, citrus fruit and pink apple flavours. The wine’s tension builds on the palate to a gorgeous, focused finish.

Light colour with a green tint. This is discreet but with some power, especially at the back end. First sign of a little Mirabelle fruit but it is not too ripe and is supported by good acidity. A little peach touch to finish.
