Exhibiting aromas of minerals and sea breezes on the nose, the Puligny Montrachet Champs Canet has a thick, deep, and sweet texture infused with roasted fruits and stones. Medium-to-full-bodied, this wine should be drunk now-2004. This note is the result of tastings I did in Burgundy between January 7 and January 29.
For the most part, this domaine's wines are fat, rich, full of fruit and sometimes verging on off-dry. Yields are kept low. In 1995 the Premier Crus averaged 20 hectoliters/hectare. Boillot stirs the lees once a week (every Monday he says) in most vintages and twice in others (1996 for example). Furthermore, he doesn't rack his wines, preferring to do a serious stirring of the lees prior to transferring his wines to large vats for fining and filtering before bottling. There is no track record regarding the aging potential of his white wines, 1995 being only Jean-Marc Boillot's third vintage with his inherited Puligny vineyards. An overly sweet characteristic found in many of these wines makes me believe that most should be consumed over the short term.
