Ramonet, Puligny Montrachet Champ Canet

Ramonet, Puligny Montrachet Champ Canet(from a . 33 ha parcel). Discreet but not invisible wood is present on the overtly floral suffused nose that displays background hints of lemon rind and a phenolic character (think olive oil nuances). There is a lovely texture to the medium bodied and generously proportioned flavors that brim with sappy dry extract, all wrapped in a bitter citrus and impressively long finale where the only reproach is a hint of warmth.

The bouquet of this Millésime is bright

The brooding and equally serious broad-shouldered flavors are not quite as concentrated as those of the Chambertin but are even finer and display plenty of minerality on the wonderfully persistent finish

By contrast there is plenty of verve to the supple

if you please

but there is no shortage of stuffing

allowing for more shade on the bunches
