Decanter
Despite its location next to Meursault and its tendency to produce slightly broader wines, this is a Premier Cru that is nicely restrained in 2018. Floral and aromatic, with some citrus peel and aniseed scents that segue into a zety slightly salty palate with some lees-derived weight, stylish 20% new wood and a zesty, refreshing finish. (TA)

Vinous
he 2018 Puligny-Montrachet Champs Canet 1er Cru offers attractive lime and green apple aromas, the 20% new oak nicely integrated. The palate is well balanced with orange zest and freshly sliced pear, almost Chassagne in style thanks to its gras-like finish. Very promising. (NM)

Allen Meadows - Burghound
Here the nose is quite firmly reduced and unreadable today. Otherwise there is better volume and richness to the solidly dense and powerful medium-bodied flavors that are at once seductive yet punchy on the impressively long, firm and much more complex finale. *Outstanding*

The 2018 Champs Canet is a lovely wine on both the nose and palate. The bouquet is quite classic in profile, wafting from the glass in a mix of apple, slightly “candied” lemon, chalky minerality, citrus blossoms and a deft foundation of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and nicely generous on the attack (at least today), with a fine core of fruit, good undertow of minerality, bright, zesty acids and lovely cut and grip on the long, complex and very classy finish. Fine juice.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2018 Pulingy-Montrachet 1er Cru Champ Canet offers up aromas of citrus oil, white flowers, yellow apple and fresh pastry, followed by a medium to full-bodied palate that's broad and fleshy, with broader shoulders than usual, though it remains nicely defined. I suspect this may end up resembling a more open-knit version of the 2015 rendition. (WK)

K&L Notes
91-94 points Jasper Morris for Inside Burgundy: "The 1ers crus were racked only just before harvest so have not quite fallen clear. There is fair density to this, then a softer, oakier finish saved by a little youthful bitterness. Some peachy notes show the warmth of the summer. Full white fruit nose, and a plump finish."
