Product Description
A restrained but highly complex nose features notes of ripe, pure and elegant honeysuckle, pear, apple and soft spice aromas that are trimmed in just enough wood to notice. There is excellent concentration to the equally refined and relatively powerful medium weight flavors that possess a highly seductive mouth feel before culminating in a saline and gorgeously persistent finish. Excellent upside development potential.
wine score
93 points Wine Advocate
The 2015 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru has a more reserved and conservative bouquet compared to the Bienvenue, with dew-speckled Granny Smith apples, grass clipping, wet granite aromas unfolding in the glass but never letting go completely. The palate is fresh on the entry with crisp acidity, a little more tension and race than the Bienvenue yet displaying that same spicy, but here more saline finish that fans out with confidence.

Product details
Etienne Sauzets son-in-law, Grard Boudot, makes the wine at this benchmark Burgundian D., turning the enormous potential of their prime vineyards into liquid gold. His knowledge of Puligny?s different vineyards is second to none. He resists the temptation to interfere with the wines too much after fermentation, and employs on average 30% new oak every year. The Grand Crus are, of course, impressive; even right down to Villages and Bourgogne level the wines display the finesse and grace of truly great Puligny.
