2015 Puligny-Montrachet 1. Cru Champ Gain La Vougeraie

Here there are no reductive notes as the fresh aromas of acacia blossom, citrus peel and pear are trimmed in just enough wood to bear mentioning. There is once again excellent richness to the very rounded, generously proportioned and plump flavors that coat the palate on the citrusy finish. Like the Puligny villages.

The 2015 Puligny-Montrachet Champgains has a fragrant, well-defined bouquet with peach skin and light yellow flower scents that are neatly integrated with the oak. The palate is well balanced, with impressive weight on the entry, and quite saline. The taut, slightly nutty, almost Meursault-like finish does not overstay its welcome. I find it just loses a little vigor in the glass, ergo it loses a point. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting. 2019 - 2029 .
