Vinous, January 2026, Score: 92+
The 2024 Puligny-Montrachet Champ Gain 1er Cru comes from a 0.19-hectare plot acquired in 2011, the 40-year-old vines suffering degeneration due to SO49 rootstock, so undergo piecemeal replanting. It has a tightly wound bouquet with orchard fruit and beeswax, just a patina of new wood (30%) to be subsumed. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, fresh and vibrant with hints of orange pith and apricot lending charm on the finish. Give this a couple of years in bottle to allow the aromatics to open up – fine potential here. Drink 2028-2042
Region
Puligny Montrachet
Puligny Montrachet is known as the most delicate of the white wine appellations south of Beaune.Its wines tend to be linear and mineral offering delicate floral and orchard fruit aromatics. Its village and premier cru vineyard area total slightly over 200 hectares but almost half of them are premier cru making them one of the highest proportions of quality vineyards in the Côte de Beaune. Several grand cru vineyards are present, the most notable being Le Montrachet and Bâtard Montrachetwhich it shares with neighbouring Chassagne, but it does have the extraordinary Chevalier Montrachet and the tiny Bienvenues Bâtard Montrachet all to itself. There are a handful of red wines grown, but they tend to be quite light and need to be drunk in their youth.
