Tasting notes
Aromas of citrus oil, white flowers, orange zest, clear honey and delicate hints of praline introduce Sauzet's 2017 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Perrières, a medium to full-bodied, enveloping wine that's racy and tensile, allying concentration, cut and texture to compelling effect. This has turned out brilliantly.

Much more fragrant than the Garenne and less obviously oaky. Tangy citrus, lemon purity and a touch of spice. Mouth-watering zesty fruit, tight and bright and long. Really pure and precise and quite a different style from the Garenne. (JH)
Bright lemon-yellow color. Delicate, reticent aromas of crushed rock, lemon, lime, white pepper and menthol. Nicely concentrated, sappy wine with lovely intensity and texture--and classic Perrières mineral definition. The vibrant, dusty finish stains the palate.
