The 2018 vintage in Burgundy, particularly for the Côte de Beaune, presented "confounded expectations" according to Neal Martin of Vinous, suggesting a year that surprised many. Jean Marc Boillot's Puligny Montrachet Champ Canet 1er Cru 2018 is a white Burgundy that has garnered critical acclaim, with some reviewers noting its exquisite creaminess balanced by freshness. It's described as having a cool, steely, mineral style with a delicious bitterness akin to pink grapefruit, showcasing concentrated acidity and a long, saline finish. While slightly richer and more muscular than some previous vintages, it maintains tension and finesse, with a massive finish of tangy pineapple. Expect notes of butter, oak, vanilla, honey, minerals, stone, peach, pear, and apricot, alongside citrus and tropical hints. 【 Super silky in texture with a powerful side, yet the wine has lots of finesse, like a Grand Cru 】. 🍴 This elegant Chardonnay pairs beautifully with rich fish like salmon or tuna, as well as mild and soft cheeses. It's also an excellent match for chicken and turkey dishes. 🥂 Perfect for a sophisticated dinner party, a celebratory meal, or an intimate gathering where a refined white Burgundy will be appreciated. Its creamy texture and balanced acidity make it versatile for various culinary occasions.
