Puligny-Montrachet 1er cru Champs Canet 2014

There is sufficient post-bottling reduction present to completely mask the underlying fruit at the moment. Otherwise there is superb volume and mid-palate concentration to the impressively powerful and palate staining yet refined medium weight plus flavors that possess a highly textured mouth feel while delivering knock-out depth and length on the hugely long and beautifully well-balanced finale. Like several of the wines in the range and most particularly the Genevrières this stunningly good effort should both age well and be approachable young.

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.
