Score 91/100 · Drink 2023-2033, Neal Martin, Jul 2023
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.
