Sweet hints of Chamomile, honey, almonds and yellow-fleshed fruit wrap around the palate as the 2011 Puligny-Montrachet Champ Canet shows off its class. Rich, layered and enveloping to the core, the Champ Canet is another wine that is going to need time to fully come together. I especially admire the wine's volume, texture and soft contours. Expressive floral notes appear over time, adding lift and perfume that balances some of the intensity of the fruit.

Sweet spot outstanding. This is really quite aromatically similar to the Truffières except that, somewhat surprisingly, the nose is even more elegant. There is a striking combination of excellent volume but also beautiful detail to the concentrated, refined and ultra-pure medium-bodied flavors that don't quite have the driving minerality but display markedly better complexity on the balanced and harmonious finish. This is a very stylish wine of class and grace that should repay up to a decade of cellaring. Drink: 2018+
