This premier cru is situated high on the Puligny slope and typically produces a comparatively crisp, tensile wine, but Jean-Claude Ramonet's 2015 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Champs-Canet is notably rich and ripe, bursting from the glass with an expressive nose of peach, toasted nuts, lemon oil and nutmeg. On the palate, the wine is glossy, full-bodied and concentrated, with almost chewy levels of extract and succulent rather than more typically racy acids. This should make for dramatic drinking in its youth.
