Pale, bright green-yellow. Musky peach, spices and truffle on the nose. Vivacious and energetic on the palate, with racy acidity framing the mineral and spice flavors. Finishes taut and long. Like a denser, more concentrated version of the 2008 village wine but in need of two or three years of patience to expand in the bottle.Author: Stephen TanzerIssue: September/October 2012Wine Advocate | Rating: 90
The Sauzet 2010 Puligny-Montrachet is totally classy and refined. There is a bit of a honeyed quality that gives the Puligny considerable textural richness and viscosity for a village level wine. A soft, seamless finish rounds things out in style. This is a gorgeous showing from Sauzet.Author: Antonio Galloni
The domaine of Etienne Sauzet is made up of 26 acres, much of it in the heart of the premier crus vineyards of Puligny-Montrachet. Gerard Boudot, owner and winemaker of Domaine Sauzet, is seeking 'maximum finesse and an individual expression of the climat.' M. Boudot, who married the granddaughter of the late Etienne Sauzet, runs the domaine and has modernized and improved the vinification, making the wines of this domaine among the most sought-after white wines of Burgundy.
The estate has been bottling 100% of its production since the early 1950s. Boudot ferments and ages 100% of the premiers crus and grand crus in small oak, one-third new. The average age of the vines is 30-35 years. These are textbook white burgundies, brimming with flavor, yet elegant and well-balanced.
