June 2024 (Vintage 2022)

Ripe and beautifully layered aromas of pear and apple compote, a broad array of floral elements, spice, especially anise and citrus confit are trimmed in admirably subtle wood influence. There is outstanding volume to the concentrated, powerful and serious yet wonderfully refined medium weight plus flavors that coat the palate with sappy dry extract on the tension-filled, complex and strikingly persistent finale. This is a big but perfectly balanced Champs Canet and once again, a wine that is well-worth a special search to find. In a word, terrific.

There is a hint of phenolic character suffusing the ripe and vaguely exotic aromas of white and yellow fruit, orange peel, fennel and a wonderful array of floral nuances. There is outstanding volume to the solidly concentrated, rich and powerful yet displaying the natural class of a fine Puligny, all wrapped in a mouth coating, moderately dry and sneaky long finale. This could use more depth so plan on at least a few years of keeping.

A slightly riper nose also displays a hint of phenolic character on the aromas of white and yellow peach, acacia blossom and a subtle application of wood. While not quite as dense on the palate, the medium-bodied flavors still possess very fine concentration along with evident power and energy that carries over to the balanced and long finish that flashes excellent complexity if not quite the same refinement, indeed it is borderline rustic, something that is most unusual for a prime Puligny 1er. This is however even more tightly wound and if ageworthy white Burgundy is appealing to you, look no further.

June 2022 (Vintage 2020)

A vague whiff of the exotic is present on the blend of both white and yellow peach, floral and spicy aromas where a hint of phenolic character lurks in the background. Here too the texture of the mediumbodied flavors is super-sleek, refined and intense while the sappy and youthfully austere finish exhibits excellent length. This isn’t quite as mineral-driven as the Perrières or as delicate as the Bouchères but it’s quite classy all the same.
