2018 Domaine Jacques Carillon Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru "Champs Canet" (Pre-Arrival)

SKU #1481614 94 points Decanter

Outer quote mark 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) Inner quote mark (10/2019)

91-93 points Vinous

Outer quote mark 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) Inner quote mark (1/2020)

90-93 points Allen Meadows - Burghound

Outer quote mark 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* Inner quote mark (6/2020)

92 points John Gilman

Outer quote mark 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. Inner quote mark (12/2019)

90-92 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Outer quote mark 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) Inner quote mark (1/2020)

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."

Additional Information:

Varietal:

Chardonnay

- It's hard to believe that up until about 30 years ago, this extremely popular varietal hid behind the veil of geographical names like Chablis and Puligny-Montrachet. Now grown all over the world and bottled by its varietal name, Chardonnay has achieved a level of branding unlike any other wine. Surprisingly, though, what you get when you buy Chardonnay can differ greatly from country to country and even within one country, depending on the climate where it's grown and how it is vinified and aged. From fresh, crisp and minerally with apple and lemon notes to rich and buttery with tropical fruit overtones, Chardonnay runs the gamut. In France's Burgundy, Chardonnay is the source of the prized wines of Chablis, Corton-Charlemagne, Mâcon, Meursault and Montrachet. It also the foundation of exceptional Champagne, where it is blended with Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier or vinified on its own into Blanc de Blancs. It is also extremely popular in California, and is gaining popularity in Australia, New Zealand, Italy, Spain and South Africa.

Country:

France

- When it comes to wine, France stands alone. No other country can beat it in terms of quality and diversity. And while many of its Region, Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne most obviously, produce wine as rare, as sought-after and nearly as expensive as gold, there are just as many obscurities and values to be had from little known appellations throughout the country. To learn everything there is to know about French wine would take a lifetime. To understand and appreciate French wine, one only has to begin tasting them.

Sub-Region:

Burgundy

- The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Côte d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Côte de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Côte de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Côte Chalonnaise and the Mâconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Côte d'Or. Also include by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.

Specific Appellation:

Puligny Montrachet

- Puligny is a village which has been called 'attractive, self-confident and unpretentious.' Some of the world's greatest dry white wines come from here. The Grands Crus of Montrachet, Chevalier Montrachet, Bâtard Montrachet, and Bienvenues Bâtard Montrachet are on the southern edge, adjacent to the village of Chassagne. In Puligny, you can see the distinctly different soils which yield the different wines. The borders of the Grands Crus are anything but arbitrary, and the character of the wines form Puligny are distinct from Meursault to the north and Chassagne to the South. The vineyards closest to Meursault have thin soils, with slate and rock. Their wines are more delicate and minerally but no less lovely than the more powerful wines from the vineyards towards the Grands Crus.
