2022 Latour Giraud Puligny Montrachet 1er Champs Canet

Ripe and beautifully layered aromas of pear and apple compote, a broad array of floral elements, spice, especially anise and citrus confit are trimmed in admirably subtle wood influence. There is outstanding volume to the concentrated, powerful and serious yet wonderfully refined medium weight plus flavors that coat the palate with sappy dry extract on the tension-filled, complex and strikingly persistent finale. This is a big but perfectly balanced Champs Canet and once again, a wine that is well-worth a special search to find. In a word, terrific.  Burghound 95

Three barrels! A fresh mid lemon and lime colour. More floral elegance here à la Puligny. Still ripe and sensual behind, but this is more typical perhaps of a 2020. A touch of bacon fat alongside the white fruit, plenty of energy, good acidity, the finish still fine if less compelling than the Meursault. Suggestion of honeysuckle. Drink from 2026-2032. Tasted: November 2022.  Jasper Morris 91-93
