LATOUR-GIRAUD

Puligny-Montrachet 1er cru Champs Canet 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.

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.
