Etienne Sauzet
Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru Chardonnay



Light canary gold, young and fresh looking. Sweet nose. Notes of pineapple and kiwi fruit, wet river stone, lemon and a little apricot. Unbelievable texture, tactile mouth feel and creaminess with a lasting finish. Crazy good wine and the luck of the draw... fresh bottles like this will improve and should have 15+ years in front of it

Lt gold. Viscous and heavy in the glass. Inviting nose. Notes of lemon custard, apricot pit, white flowers and some dusty spice. In the mouth it’s very rich. Feminine. In the first hour the finish is flat and not apparent. After 1.5 hrs the acidity starts to come on. And the nose gets bigger. Good not great. This had plenty of life in front of it and similar bottles should get better with some additional age.

This bottle was not showing well initially. Lovely nose but very flat and weak on the mid and back palate and finish. Improved with 1.5 hours of air but something of a disappointment. May be this bottle.
