Other Reviews....
Ripe and beautifully layered aromas of pear and apple compote, a broad array of floral elements, spice, especially anise and citrus confit are trimmed in admirably subtle wood influence. There is outstanding volume to the concentrated, powerful and serious yet wonderfully refined medium weight plus flavors that coat the palate with sappy dry extract on the tension-filled, complex and strikingly persistent finale. This is a big but perfectly balanced Champs Canet and once again, a wine that is well-worth a special search to find. In a word, terrific. Drink through 2034+.

It is not easy to know where to place this Puligny in the line-up. Mid lemon yellow. The bouquet has the initial austerity seen in Narvaux and Genevrières, but I expect we shall see the more accessible ripeness of the vintage behind. There is not quite the volume of the Perrières but easily enough to satisfy. Fresh yellow plums, kept lively buy the thread of acidity, pleasingly nuanced behind, with a slightly softer finish than the top Meursaults. Fine wine nonetheless, and the mineral detail keeps it lively enough. Little stones after the rock of Perrières. Drink from 2029-2036.
