Mouth-watering aromas reminiscent of buttered cornbread served in a roadside diner in Tennessee can be found in the nose of the 2003 Puligny-Montrachet Champs Gain (white). Medium-bodied, lush, and fleshy, it perfectly portrays the huge impact terroirs had in this vintage (Champs Gain has deep, clay soils). Satin-textured and friendly, this plush effort coats the taster’s palate with creamed hazelnut flavors that linger in its impressive finish. Drink it over the next 4-5 years. Maison Louis Latour has numerous importers across the United States.

A deliciously fruity wine that still manages to have some denseness and structure. A touch of hazelnuts and green fruit give extra pleasure; should develop relatively quickly over the next 2–3 years. Imported by Kobrand. ——R.V.(9/1/2005)—— 91
