Product details
Etienne Sauzet Le Montrachet Grand Cru
Winery Information
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.
Testing Nose
A notably ripe and overtly exotic nose of mostly dried yellow orchard fruit, spice and subtle floral nuances introduces succulent and unctuously-textured big-bodied flavors that also coat the palate with dry extract on the explosively long and intense finish.
