Domaine Etienne Sauzet Chevalier-Montrachet 2015 is a full-bodied Burgundy white wine from the Grand Cru climat of Chevalier-Montrachet in the Côte de Beaune. The wines of Etienne Sauzet are among the most sought-after in Puligny. The Premiers and Grands Crus, in particular, tend to be models of concentration with restraint. Etienne Sauzet tends to dial down the use of new oak, preferring a level of around 20% new for its 1er Cru Chardonnays. The domaine vineyards have been farmed biodynamically since 2010. "The 2015 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru has a powerful, almost show-stopping bouquet with intense yellow plum, Mirabelle and grey slate-like aromas that are beautifully defined. The palate is very well balanced, harnessing the richness of the growing season by keeping a tight rein thanks to the terroir. Great depth here, superb acidity and the finish is very complex, with hints of almond and grilled walnut on the persistent finish. This is an impressive Chevalier-Montrachet that represents a very worthy follow-up to the 2014." Wine Advocate, 2016

Vinous
- Bright yellow. High-pitched aromas of lemon, apple, spices, crushed stone and white flowers. Utterly seamless, silky wine with compelling elegance to its flavors of white peach and white flowers. This Chevalier boasts a creaminess that will give it early appeal, but its penetrating chalky finish also gives it grip and lift for a graceful evolution in bottle. A perfect example of a 2015 that gained in energy and definition during its final months of élevage. Really spreads out on the back to saturate the palate, with the apple and mineral notes carrying through. The acidity here is just 3.8 grams per liter but the pH is a healthy 3.17, according to Boudot.
