Available Vintages
justerini & brooks tasting note

This cuvée has excelled in recent years and is really starting to challenge its stable mates as one the best 1er Crus in this cellar. So refined and well balanced, the most typically "Puligny" of Sauzet's wines. Silky, sunny yellow fruits mixed with bright minerals and flint. Tactile but with crunch and drive. Long, complex and stylish, this demonstrates incredible balance and controlled power. From a well-drained vineyard situated next to Referts, but very different in style, with a similar clay content although more compact and scattered with small rocky stones. The resulting wines are invariably more mineral than Referts.

critic reviews

92-94/100Neal Martin,Vinous

The 2023 Puligny-Montrachet Les Perrières 1er Cru has a compelling strictness and mineralité on the nose, averting the more tropical inclinations of the preceding Champ Gain. It has just a small touch of reduction. The palate is well balanced with a keen line of acidity. There is a patina of oak to be absorbed, but there is real tension and attack in this Les Perrières. This is a concentrated wine that deserves more time in bottle.
