2023 | Etienne Sauzet Montrachet Grand Cru | Cote de Beaune
Benoît says he waits at least ten years before touching his Montrachet—currently drinking his 2010. He feels the wine is too "moody" when young, but it becomes unbeatable with age. This is super-charged with intense, pure orchard fruit flavors showing highlights of positive reduction and smouldering firepit. Banana bread, cherimoya and passion fruit take the intensity up a notch as the wine opens. The breadth is noble and the persistence is bewitching. This is made with purchased fruit from the Chassagne side.
