Sauzet, Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru Champ-Canet 2022	92-94 Wine Advocate The 2022 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Champ Canet is excellent, mingling aromas of lemon oil, citrus confit, white flowers, freshly baked bread and mandarin, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and seamless palate that’s concentrated and structured, concluding with a long, nutmeg-inflected finish. 17+/20 Jancis Robinson Cask sample. A little more breadth on the nose compared with the Referts. Fleshy and juicy palate with bright acidity to keep everything fresh and on track. Subtle oak is there in the background, but not obtrusive. Should develop very nicely. (AWH) Drink 2025– 2032. 94 Tim Atkin “This comes from a mix of vines between 36 to 65 years old. The wine is graciously giving with ample weight and extract yet balanced by green apple-like acidity. There is lots of peps and crunchy enjoyment here with an elegant leesiness and dried white flower intrigue, too.” 94-96 Jasper Morris 5 Star Wine “The Champ Canet has not quite fallen clear yet. However, the bouquet is stunning! And keeps changing. The immediate fruit now adds a little toasty note, plus the additional depth and complexity of having been kept on more lees. The fruit ripened nicely, with a touch of honeysuckle but it is a minority component, with ripe citrus taking the lead. A fascinating, complex finish. Drink from 2028-2037. Tasted: October 2023.” 90-92 Vinous The 2022 Puligny-Montrachet Champ Canet 1er Cru felt much more closed when I tasted it at the Domaine, introverted with dewy meadow scents. The palate is well-balanced, but it doesn’t quite convey the mineralité and tension of its fellow Premier Crus at the moment. Does it have more to give? I remain cautious for now.
