Etienne Sauzet Puligny Montrachet Sous le Puits 2022

Here the nose is cool, pure and airy with aromas of citrus zest, white flower, fennel and pear nuances. The mouthfeel of the lilting and vibrant medium weight flavors is gorgeous and unusually fine for Sous le Puits while exuding evident minerality on the bone-dry, balanced and tautly wound finale. Excellent and worth considering.*Burghound Sweet Spot Outstanding!* 91-94

Pale lemon colour, with a fine boned elegance to the bouquet. There is enough muscle to the fruit, a good tensile backbone, not so much flesh, but the whole could be a mite riper than the Garenne. I slightly prefer this. Drink from 2027-2034. 91-93

The maiden 2022 Puligny-Montrachet Sous Le Puits 1er Cru comes from a new purchase of fruit from the top of the incline close to Blagny. The cool, fresh, malic bouquet opens nicely in the glass, well-defined with a touch of wet limestone. The palate is fresh and vibrant, with good depth, fine concentration and ample weight and tension on the flinty finish. This is very promising and will need a few months on in the bottle. 91-93

An elegant white, this delivers apple, lemon and spice flavors underscored by fresh acidity and a light touch of tannins on the finish, where an accent of salted butter lingers. Drink now through 2029. 85 cases imported.
