This is a relatively hard-to-find mature example of Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru from Domaine Etienne Sauzet. In 1996, Gérard Boudot who had inherited the estate from his father-in-law, did not own any parcels in this revered Grand Cru and so this cuvée was made entirely from purchased wine. It was aged for 14 months on lees in 50% new oak. 1996 was a very good vintage for white Burgundy and this should be approaching full maturity.
93 Vinous
Extravagant aromas of pear, menthol, minerals and smoked meat. Intensely flavored but silky and suave, with a firm edge of acidity providing focus and grip. A rather feminine grand cru, especially for the vintage, and not at all a blockbuster. Very long, subtle, stony finish.Stephen Tanzer1st September 1998
