Neal Martin MW 89-91/100
The 2015 Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru Champ Gain offers crisp Granny Smith apples and dewy pasture scents on the nose, reserved at first but opening nicely in the glass. The palate is fresh and crisp with a pleasant fatness in the mouth. It is a Champs Gain laden with both weight and presence, hints of walnut and spice towards the finish that like the La Garenne, just needs a little more energy and tension to evolve.Neil Martin - 28/12/2016
About this wine
Chardonnay
Chardonnay is often seen as the king of white wine grapes and one of the most widely planted in the world It is suited to a wide variety of soils, though it excels in soils with a high limestone content as found in Champagne, Chablis, and the Côte D`Or. Burgundy is Chardonnay's spiritual home and the best White Burgundies are dry, rich, honeyed wines with marvellous poise, elegance and balance. They are unquestionably the finest dry white wines in the world. Chardonnay plays a crucial role in the Champagne blend, providing structure and finesse, and is the sole grape in Blanc de Blancs.
