Tasting notes
The 2017 Puligny-Montrachet Champ Canet 1er Cru offers fine intensity on the nose of orchard fruit, touches of orange blossom and crushed stone scents, all quite intense while maintaining delineation. The palate is well defined with a fine line of acidity, and maybe just a little oaky at the moment, although that should be absorbed with time. It just feels conservative on the finish. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting in Savigny-lès-Beaune.

Bottled. Limey citrus nose and a hint of blossom. Creamy texture balanced by sour freshness. Intense, mouth-watering and very persistent. (JH)
Bright lemon-yellow color with a green tinge. Vibrant, rather delicate aromas of lemon, candied lime and minerals; Boillot noted that this wine usually shows mango and pineapple notes but in 2017 it's more about vineyard flowers. More shapely and less evolved than the preceding samples; not austere but more precise than the Garenne, with less sugar (0.7 gram) to mask its flavors. In a reasonably rich style but also finishes with good lift and grip, and a lingering note of acacia flower. I like the integration of oak here.
