Michel Bouzereau, Puligny Montrachet Champ Gain Vintage:2023

Michel Bouzereau, Puligny Montrachet Champ Gain Vintage:2023(from a . 40 ha parcel that abuts Truffire). Like the Tessons, this is aromatically quite cool with restrained aromas of mostly floral and citrus along with background hints of green apple. The sleek, intense and more obviously mineral driven medium weight flavors possess fine balance on the very dry finale. This will need to develop better depth to merit the upper end of my projected range.

I had a fabulous visit with proprietor Andre Perret at his cellar located just north of Chavanay
