The 2017 Montrachet Grand Cru from Domaine Etienne Sauzet has an intense nose with nectarine, white linen and pressed flower scents. It's fairly backward with a subtle petrol-like tincture. The palate is very well-balanced, harmonious and slightly peachy in style, though I want more tension and more electricity running through the finish, prompting me to lower my score because that is something that I expect from whites in this cooler vintage, not least from this Grand Cru.

From bought-in grapes, not domaine grapes. Made from just one new barrel which is moved around (as opposed to lees stirring). Bottled February/March the following year.
Very oaky – it's quite difficult to see past the oak. This tastes as if it still needs a lot of time. Much smokier, denser, and tight compared with the Prieur 2017 Montrachet and the Gut Hermannsberg 2017 Hermannsberg GG tasted on either side of it. Cannons and cordite, a pith-smoked crack of pepperiness, hatched texture, an etch of white (bitter) florals. Impressive, but not welcoming. (TC)Tamlyn Currin24th August 2022
