Tasting notes
The 2019 Puligny-Montrachet Champ Canet 1er Cru has an attractive bouquet with dried honey, almond, peach skin and light wax resin scents. It just lacks a bit of tension and mineralité . The palate is medium-bodied with impressive acidity. There is real tension here—perhaps this is a Puligny that was picked earlier than its peers? Remaining quite sharp toward its saline finish, a bit of heat unexpectedly pops up on the aftertaste. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

Notes of pear, orange oil, pastry cream, peaches and freshly baked bread introduce the 2019 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Champ Canet, a medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy wine with an ample, open-knit core of fruit and a saline finish. It's a fine effort, but it isn't as tensile as I anticipated from tank last year.
The 2019 Puligny-Montrachet Champs Canet 1er Cru comes from the middle of the incline and according to Carillon is the most open when young. The nose is well-defined with wild peach, touches of white flowers and light red apple scents. Quite floral in style. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, taut and fresh with fine weight, a touch of stem ginger enlivening proceedings towards the finish.
