Note di degustazione
The 2018 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Champ Gain is also promising, unwinding in the glass with notes of peach, citrus oil, honeycomb and flowers. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, chalky and incisive, though on this visit it was a little tight-knit, having been sulfured shortly before I tasted it.

Toasty oak makes itself felt on the nose and palate, and persists on the finish too. The fruit is rich and thick – perhaps overwrought in this warm vintage? It's not unbalanced, but it certainly couldn't be called elegant. (RH)
The 2018 Puligny-Montrachet Champ Gain 1er Cru is not a million miles away from the Hameau de Blagny in style, the nose offering attractive dried orange peel and white peach allied with a touch of wet limestone. The palate is fresh and vibrant on the entry with a fine bead of acidity. Perhaps this does not quite "kick on" like the Hameau de Blagny, and currently it feels more conservative toward the finish, playing it a bit safe.
