Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru “Le Champ Gain” 2022**
Style: A beautifully sculpted, high-altitude Puligny Premier Cru showing tension, purity, and the finesse typical of Girardin’s modern, mineral-driven style.
Appearance:
Bright pale gold with silver-green reflections; youthful and luminous.
Nose:
Elegant, pure, and aromatic. Notes of lemon zest, white peach, green apple, and pear open the bouquet, layered with white flowers, fresh almonds, and a distinctive chalky minerality. Subtle nuances of brioche, hazelnut, and fine oak add depth without overshadowing the fruit.
Palate:
Precise and vibrant with a refined, linear structure. The palate delivers citrus, orchard fruit, and crushed stone, wrapped in a beautifully balanced texture—silky yet energetic. The altitude of Le Champ Gain contributes a cool, lifted profile with excellent tension.
Finish:
Long, mineral, and elegant, with lingering notes of citrus, spice, and flinty salinity.
Mineral-driven
Tense and focused
Subtle, well-integrated oak
An excellent expression of Puligny’s high-slope terroir
