Goedhuis, January 2019
Although this is the village’s highest premier cru, the Sauzet’s parcel is in a wonderfully sheltered spot protected by the nearby woods, just by Truffière and Folatières. The warmth of the vineyard is evident with its melange of fruit salad flavours. It has a lovely chiselled Puligny brightness in the mid-palate which gives way to a soft creamy mouth-coating finish.

Stephen Tanzer, September 2018, Score: 89-92
Bright pale yellow. Expressive fruit bomb of a nose, offering scents of lemon oil, white peach and hazelnut. Suave in texture but quite dry, even a bit austere, showing good mineral and floral lift. Finishes tactile, lightly saline and persistent, with a note of crushed stone. This appears to be evolving slowly.

Region
Puligny Montrachet
Puligny Montrachet is known as the most delicate of the white wine appellations south of Beaune.Its wines tend to be linear and mineral offering delicate floral and orchard fruit aromatics. Its village and premier cru vineyard area total slightly over 200 hectares but almost half of them are premier cru making them one of the highest proportions of quality vineyards in the Côte de Beaune. Several grand cru vineyards are present, the most notable being Le Montrachet and Bâtard Montrachetwhich it shares with neighbouring Chassagne, but it does have the extraordinary Chevalier Montrachet and the tiny Bienvenues Bâtard Montrachet all to itself. There are a handful of red wines grown, but they tend to be quite light and need to be drunk in their youth.
