Sauzet, Montrachet Grand Cru

A candied nose of bubble gum. On the palate, expansive and powerful candied pineapple fruit, fat with searing acidity which brings tears to the eyes. Amazing purity. Lovely.

Sauzet, Montrachet Grand Cru 2024	93-95 Vinous The 2024 Montrachet Grand Cru comprises four barrels this year with one new, this coming from the Chassagne side of the vineyard. There was a bit of reduction on the nose here and perhaps because of this it did not quite translate the same degree of charm as the Bâtard-Montrachet. The palate is fresh on the entry, quite strict and linear. Lemon zest marks the finish to this Montrachet but it does not quite engage in the same way as Sauzet’s best 2024s. 94-96 Wine Advocate Sauzet’s 2024 Montrachet Grand Cru is beautiful, wafting from the glass with aromas of honeyed orchard fruits, ripe apricots, white flowers, freshly baked bread and bee pollen. Full-bodied, ample and fleshy, it’s pure, layered and voluminous, concluding with a broad, lavishly fruity finish. As usual, it’s produced from must purchased from Baron Thénard.
