Extravagantly floral, this is richly layered with poached apple slices, toasted brioche and cinnamon spice. There is wholesome mid-palate succulence yet no heaviness. Sensuous, flattering and finessed, this has a flowing, long finish punctuated with wet stone minerality

Note: from a 1 ha parcel of 50+ year old vines that see 40% new wood. Here too the nose is cool and airy with its aromas of smoked apple, acacia blossom, crushed fennel and citrus confit. The richer and more concentrated, though less mineral-driven, middle weight flavors coat the palate with sappy dry extract on the clean, dry, delineated and balanced finale. This is really quite classy and well-worth your interest.*Burghound Sweet Spot Outstanding!*

A large block adjacent to Meursault. A fairly pale lemon yellow, with a concentration of solid white fruit on the palate. Significant weight, powerful on the palate, all very much a monolithic block of flavour, some ripe grapefruit at the finish. Weightier perhaps but Benoît’s style here at Sauzet is not for the massive. Two thirds come from 70 year old vines, one third 30. Good acidity to finish. Drink from 2029-2034. Tasted Oct 2024.
