Reviewed January 2025A fine mid lemon colour. Discretion continues to be the Sauzet watchword. The Champ Canet has the ideal balance between the concentration of white fruit flesh, acidity, nuance and length. The fruit ripples over a bed of minerals. Very compelling. Drink from 2029-2035. Tasted Oct 2024.

Vinous
The 2023 Puligny-Montrachet Champ Canet 1er Cru showed more reduction on the nose, yet there is clearly a lot of intensity here. It's slightly more resinous than its peers, containing touches of melted candle wax and lanolin. The palate is well balanced and poised, with a keen silver thread of acidity and real energy building toward an assertive and complex finish. It is far superior to the 2022 when I tasted it last year. This is superb. (NM)

About a quarter of these vines were planted in 1936 with the remainder planted in 1962 and 1967. Benoît says they are very millerandé (berries in the same cluster differing greatly in sizes). The heightened concentration and intensity is clear in the glass, yet the tamed ripeness keeps the wine from feeling too big. Marked acididty nicely defines the palate of apple pie, baked yellow cherries and candied lemon peel. This is a lively one!

Wine Spectator
The core flavors of peach, apricot, melon and grapefruit are wrapped in toasty oak in this fleshy, inviting white. Lush yet cut with ample acidity to keep everything balanced and fresh. Spicy length. Drink now through 2033.—B.S.
Notes
Bill Nanson Burgundy Report: "More rounded yet still quite direct – the fruit an obvious yellow citrus, but stony too. Large, mineral, but more silky and generous than the Perrières – super texture that’s turning more chalky in the finish – a wine with an extra austerity – but in the best sense. That could be a great one but keep it 3-5 years."(09/2024)
