Description
94+ points Wine Advocate
"The 2020 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Champ Gain is excellent, mingling scents of citrus oil and peach with notions of freshly baked bread, hazelnuts and nutmeg. Medium to full-bodied, ample and layered, it's satiny but tensile, with a racy spine of acidity and a long, saline finish."

"Lovely, bright lemon peel and ripe apple fruit, notes of marzipan and a hint of hazelnut. Despite the high elevation, the protection afforded the site brings ripeness to this superb wine. The grapes come from a hectare at the top of the slope, near Blagny. The site was planted in 1955, although parts have been replanted since. The grapes are firmly pressed, settled overnight and fermented in cask (two-thirds new) with much of the lees. (Drink between 2025-2040)"

"A little bit toasty on the nose. Hint of struck match. Powerful, smoky, with intense citrus core, both lemon and grapefruit. The very end of the bottle but still impressive. Power and freshness, almost meshed and sure to become so but needs time. 17+/20 points. (JH)"
