J. M. Boillot, Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru, Champ Canet 2020

The 2020 Puligny-Montrachet Champs-Canet 1er Cru has a broad nose encompassing white and yellow fruit. It's more generous than François Carillon's Champs Gain, perchance later picked with a very slight oily edge. It doesn't quite have the same sophistication as its peers, although it is exceedingly seductive. The palate is medium-bodied with a honeyed tincture, notes of quince and mandarin and fine weight on the finish. Again, it is not a complex or intellectual Puligny, not one I would be inclined to cellar long-term…but it is undeniably delicious. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.
