2019 Puligny-Montrachet 1. Cru Champ Gain La Vougeraie

At the St-Aubin end of the vineyard, kept cool by the trees. Pale lemon. The bouquet is rather backward bit indicates potential finesse. A little yellow plum here, has retained enough flesh through the middle, ripe fruit perfumes the finish, a fraction of toast, just enough acidity and some length. Good.

Here too a deft application of wood is present on the more elegant aromas of essence of apple, spice and mineral reduction. There is more volume and mid-palate density to the refined medium weight flavors that coat the palate with sappy dry extract that also buffers the markedly firm acid spine shaping the more complex and persistent finale. A quality effort. (90-93)/2027+
