Puligny Montrachet, Champ Canet, 1er Cru, 2021

There’s more flesh, more depth here. Fine rich fruit from the Meursault side of the appellation whose old vines always produce small grapes. Always one of the early pickers. This is on the powerful, structured and fuller-bodied side of the spectrum, yet it remains extremely electric and alive. It needs some time to unwind and show itself fully but the long persistent finish points to lovely things to come. A great Puligny vineyard situated mid-slope, above Combettes and next door to Meursault Perrières, planted on a well-balanced mix of clay and limestone soils. The vines average 50 years old.
