The 2016 Pulingy-Montrachet 1er Cru Champ de Gains is showing very well, unfurling in the glass with notes of lemon oil, pastry cream, white flowers and crushed chalk. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, tensile and stony, with excellent depth and structure at the core, with a racier, less fleshy profile than its 2017 sibling.
