2017 Domaine Etienne Sauzet Batard Montrachet Grand Cru

Other Reviews....
The beautifully layered and markedly-floral inflected nose features notes of ripe white orchard fruit and citrus elements that are framed by suggestions of petrol, matchstick and a whiff of wood. The generously proportioned and extremely rich full-bodied flavors are opulent but not heavy as there is ample acid support to maintain the balance on the powerful, sappy and tension-filled finish that also just goes on and on. I really like the depth and this should age effortlessly for years.

The 2017 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru has also turned out brilliantly, mingling notes of peach, pear and honeycomb with nuances of beeswax, warm bread and orange oil. Full-bodied, multidimensional and textural, it's a powerful, muscular wine that's concentrated and satiny without being unctuous, balanced by racy acids. Long and penetrating, this is worth a special effort to seek out.

Pale straw-yellow. Deeper-pitched on the nose than the Bienvenue, offering scents of yellow fruits, earth and clove; one can smell the flesh here. Very rich, tactile and smooth, conveying a strong impression of dry extract to its yellow orchard fruit and spice flavors. The wine's greater thickness of texture is leavened by firm supporting acidity. With its serious weight and structural underpinning, this slightly saline wine will need several years of bottle aging. The yield here was about 40 hectoliters per hectare, according to Benoît Riffault.
