Last plot at the northern end, adjacent to La Truffière. Mid lemon and lime colour. At first, I cannot really pick up any nose. Perhaps a little lime and some coconut. Begins to show a floral edge. The palate has a greater depth of white orchard fruit though, both apples and pears, with fine length. A little more depth of soil here. Drink from 2028-2034. Tasted Oct 2024.

The 2023 Puligny-Montrachet Champs Gain 1er Cru offers plenty of tropical notes of passionfruit, nectarine and white peach on the nose. It's simpatico with delineation and typicité, though still identifiable as a Puligny. The palate is very well balanced with more weight than the Hameau de Blagny. More tropical notes mold the finish with a dash of ginger on the aftertaste. This will be difficult to resist in its youth but its intensity suggests it will age with aplomb.
