This relatively refined CdlR should amply reward extended keeping and it is one of the better recent vintages that I have seen for this wine

Francois Carillon, Puligny Montrachet Champ Gain Vintage:2018 aged in 50% new oak(from 4 parcels near Dents de Chien that measure ~2 ha). Cooler and more elegant if not necessarily more complex aromas of spicy essence of pear and kiwi display lovely layering. There is again fine richness and density to the solidly powerful flavors that terminate in a bone dry bitter lemon rind tinged finale.
