Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Champ Gain 2020

- 93 points -

Lovely, bright lemon peel and ripe apple fruit, notes of marzipan and a hint of hazelnut. Despite the high elevation, the protection afforded the site brings ripeness to this superb wine. The grapes come from a hectare at the top of the slope, near Blagny. The site was planted in 1955, although parts have been replanted since. The grapes are firmly pressed, settled overnight and fermented in cask (two-thirds new) with much of the lees.
