Puligny-Montrachet 1er cru Champs Canet 2023
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.
À propos de 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.
