2020 ETIENNE SAUZET PULIGNY-MONTRACHET

2020 ETIENNE SAUZET PULIGNY-MONTRACHET, BURGUNDY, FRANCE. 100% Chardonnay.

94 points Decanter: "Pleasantly ripe apple and floral notes. There is not too much tension, but the acidity is not really lacking - the wine is refreshing but not brisk. Well done. This is large cuvée - 12 parcels spread over seven lieux-dits. The grapes were picked on the 22nd August at pH 3.2. Lightly crushed and settled, then fermented in cask (15% new)."

Vinous Media: "(an assemblage of eight parcels): Bright pale yellow. Peach and spices on the inviting nose. A supple, rather elegant fruit bomb on the palate; less rich but more spicy and delineated than the village Chassagne-Montrachet, with a touch of salty minerality adding grip to its bright yellow fruits. A step above the Chassagne in lift and length too, finishing with a subtle floral aspect. One senses the sunny vintage here but the wine maintains good energy and balance." (09/2017)

About: The white wines of Puligny-Montrachet are probably the most famous and most widely acclaimed in the world. The domaine of Etienne Sauzet is made up of 26 acres, much of it in the heart of the premier crus vineyards of this famed village. Gérard Boudot, owner and winemaker of Domaine Sauzet, is seeking "maximum finesse and an individual expression of the climate." M. Boudot, who married the granddaughter of the late Etienne Sauzet, runs the domaine and has modernized and improved the vinification, making the wines of this domaine among the most sought-after white wines of Burgundy. The estate has been bottling 100% of its production since the early 1950' and, since 1975, the domaine has been selling the entirety of its production in bottle. (Winery)
