Situated in Puligny-Montrachet, Domaine Etienne Sauzet comprises 15 hectares of estate vineyards spread across Puligny-Montrachet, Cormot-le-Grand, and Chassagne-Montrachet, supplemented by small amounts of externally sourced fruit. The vineyards have followed organic farming practices since 2006, transitioning to biodynamic methods in 2010, with certification obtained in 2013. This specific cuvée hails from their 1-hectare plot in the Premier Cru ‘Champ Canet’. The 2014 release exudes a truly classic profile, offering a delightful blend of pear, white peach, fresh almond, spring flowers, subtle chalky soil nuances, and a judicious touch of vanillin oak. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and refined with a beautiful core, exceptional soil expression, crisp acidity, and a remarkably long and vibrant finish.

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. Stephen Tanzer1st September 2016
