Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
Etienne Sauzet, Le Montrachet, Grand Cru, 2018

A seductive, rich, and very silky wine but take a peak below the surface and there is a lot going on. This oozes across the palate with flavours of wild honey, minerals, roast nut, yellow fruit and hints of dried violet. Unctuous but the flavours unfurl and echo on the mammoth finish.

Etienne Sauzet

Etienne Sauzet’s son-in-law, Gérard Boudot, makes the wine at this benchmark Burgundian Domaine and has been more recently assisted by talented winemaker Benoit Riffault, Gerard's son-in-law. A tasting with Gérard and Benoit is not just enjoyable but highly educational – each session is a virtual masterclass in terroir. Indeed, their knowledge of Puligny’s different vineyards is second to none. They resist 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.
