    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    Stony, salty and mineral on the nose, with beautiful pure sweet peach notes threaded through, complete, powerful and full, but also composed. There's a great deal going on here, with fine yellow fruits and deep powerful minerality. Powerful yet controlled. Stunning. One of the great Puligny vineyards situated, mid-slope, above Combettes and next door to Meursault Perrières, planted on a well-balanced mix of clay and limestone soils. The vines average 50 years old.

    Stephen Tanzer,
    Vinous
    (13% alcohol; from a sunny, early-ripening site): Light, bright yellow. Yellow stone fruits and a whiff of pear on the deeply pitched, rather powerful nose; distinctly less delicate than the higher-altitude La Truffière. Fat, round and sweet but lacking the detail of Sauzet's other 2014 premier crus from Puligny; in fact, this is the first wine to taste a bit warm. Finishes a bit phenolic, with an edge of acidity giving the wine piquant lift but a slightly disjointed character. This was Sauzet's most hailed-on site, noted winemaker Riffault, although he maintained that only 15% of the fruit was affected.
