Tasting notes
Reviewed by: William Kelley
Aromas of candied citrus peal, orange oil, warm pastry and green mango introduce the 2018 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Champ Gain, a medium to full-bodied, satiny and enveloping wine that's succulent and fleshy, concluding with a delicately exotic finish.

The winemaking tradition has been passed down from father to son since 1632.
