Note di degustazione
If I were Lafon, I would have added the 2001 Puligny-Montrachet Champs Gain to the list of 2001s that are better than his 2000s. This wine, none of which comes to the United States through the estate’s importers of record, displays spices, pears, and white flowers in its nose. Its floral, mineral-laced, pear-imbued flavor profile is sublimely elegant. Medium-bodied, pure, revealing exceptional definition, this rich, silky-textured wine is the epitome of refinement. Supple hints of lemon can be detected in its lengthy finish. Projected maturity: now-2009. Dominique Lafon is on fire, in a zone, on top of his game. He’s never made better wines, and he improves with each passing vintage.

Musky peach and oak spices on the nose. Intensely flavored and pure, with lovely acidity and plenty of body. More powerful than the 2000, perhaps a bit more brutal today; "but the 2000 was ugly before the racking," notes Lafon. Not quite as subtle on the finish as the 2000 but boasts very good persistence.
