Faiveley 2023 Puligny Montrachet "Champ Gain" 1er Cru 750ml

A discreet application of wood is present on the ripe aromas of apple compote, petrol and citrus confit along with a floral top note. The racy, delicious and nicely detailed middle weight flavors exude a subtle minerality on the bitter lemon-inflected finale. This could use better depth but I like the balance so it should age well over the medium-term.
