Puligny-Montrachet 1er cru Champs Canet 2011

- 93 points -

An exuberantly fresh nose offers up notes of pear, peach, apricot, green apple and wet stone where the latter element can also be found on the opulent, intense and well-detailed flavors that are blessed with plenty of palate coating dry extract. There is excellent underlying tension to the tangy and citrus-infused finish that possesses both outstanding depth and persistence. This doesn't have the sheer minerality of the Perrières but it is just as long. A qualitative choice.

About Burghound.com

Burghound.com is the result of a nearly lifelong passion for the wines of Burgundy. For more than 30 years, I have been collecting the wines and visiting the region. Each year I spend nearly five months visiting, researching, tasting, exploring and evaluating. Burgundy is my obsession really. Expanding on my coverage of the coveted pinot noir grape, each issue provides continuous coverage of both Oregon and California pinot noir, with rotating coverage of Champagne and occasional special reports from other pinot producing regions.
