Etienne Sauzet owns and oversees vineyard parcels in prestigious terroirs throughout Puligny-Montrachet and nearby appellations. Established in the early 20th century by Etienne Sauzet, the estate has been nurtured by successive generations of the Sauzet family. The 2014 `Les Combettes` presents an alluring nose featuring citrus, hints of white flowers, and damp stones. A superbly invigorating acidity provides the framework for flavours of lemon curd, crisp Granny Smith apple, and a pronounced mineral character.

Vinous
- Bright, pale yellow. Pure, vibrant scents of white peach, hazelnut and menthol complicated by sexy leesy nuances. Rich and sappy in the mouth, conveying compelling sweetness of fruit for a firmly dry wine. Orchard fruit and mineral flavors spread out to saturate the palate without leaving any impression of weight. A layer of dusty minerality leaves the mouth vibrating on the very long, subtle aftertaste. Over the past 25+ years (I can still taste the 1986!), this wine has been one of my go-to Burgundy premier crus, along with such other consistently outstanding—and equally pricey—gems as Jean-Marc Pillot’s Chassagne-Montrachet Les Vergers Clos Saint-Marc, Ramonet’s Chassagne-Montrachet Les Ruchottes, Lafon’s Meursault Charmes, Coche-Dury’s Meursault Perrières and Henri Boillot’s Puligny-Montrachet Clos de la Mouchère.
