Tasting notes

The 2015 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru has a more reserved and conservative bouquet compared to the Bienvenue, with dew-speckled Granny Smith apples, grass clipping, wet granite aromas unfolding in the glass but never letting go completely. The palate is fresh on the entry with crisp acidity, a little more tension and race than the Bienvenue yet displaying that same spicy, but here more saline finish that fans out with confidence. Excellent - this is very elegant.

About this wine

Etienne Sauzet stands among Burgundy's most respected producers, crafting elegant white wines from prime vineyard holdings in Puligny-Montrachet. This Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru showcases the producer's mastery of Chardonnay, expressing the mineral complexity and refinement that define this prestigious appellation. The wine displays the full-bodied character and lively acidity characteristic of top-tier white Burgundy, with green fruit notes and medium alcohol that reward both immediate enjoyment and careful cellaring.

Bâtard-Montrachet's limestone-rich terroir imparts distinctive elegance and precision to every vintage. Sauzet's traditional winemaking approach, emphasizing terroir expression over oak manipulation, allows the vineyard's character to shine. This is a sophisticated pairing wine: serve alongside shellfish, lobster, and white fish preparations, or explore its compatibility with pasta dishes, hard cheeses, and truffle-based cuisine. An essential selection for serious collectors and fine dining establishments seeking authentic Grand Cru white Burgundy.
