Champ-Canet Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay

John had this 3 years ago

Somebody thought it was corked. So everybody else decided it was too. I snickered to myself as I knew the funk was just the age. What a delightful bottle!!

Paired beautifully with #cheese course no premox issue here -nice #burgundy white #wine #sommchat

This 08 champ canet was already drinking great. Bright, fresh, mineral, solid puligny from a good vineyard.

Whew...no premox. More angular than I expected.

Sampled 3/2018 at ProWein (Germany).

2019 vintage. Scratches the itch and hits the spot. Very very solid without being quite spectacular for now but it's early in the game. could see this hitting a 9.4 in the next few years. 8.12.23.

Producer > vintage.

Light green-gold. Minerals, peach pit, saline, balancing acidity. Full bodied meursault like wine.

1995. Absolutely ripping. This is a noble style of which I find difficult to come across. Throwing off waves of flowers, silk and electricity all at once. Amazing energy impression and took an entire 48 hours for it to finally resolve into the classic reigned and settled butterscotch Puligny note. Storage conditions seemed very cold and damp for this bottle. Super special.
