Reviews & Scores
An expressive and still wonderfully fresh nose consists of floral, white and yellow orchard fruit, oak, spice and citrus aromas. The gorgeously rich, intense and mineral-driven big-bodied flavors possess excellent detail before culminating in a mouth coating and tremendously persistent finish. This is still very youthful and clearly still on the way up and while it could certainly be enjoyed now, it should continue to develop well if allowed another few years first. In a word, fantastic. - BH

The 2008 Sauzet Montrachet is another absolutely profound wine in the making. The bouquet is deep, youthful and flat out great, as it offers up scents of lemon, pear, pink grapefruit, lovely, great minerality, vanillin oak and a topnote of lemon blossoms. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and utterly aristocratic, with a rock solid core of fruit, flawless focus and stunning length and grip on the racy and soil-driven finish. A great Monty.

Musk, daffodil, honeysuckle, lily, nut oils, and brown spices make for a head-turning aromatic display and ally themselves to succulent peach and Persian melon on a silken, palpably thick and dense, yet elegantly-expressive, energy-charged palate. For sheer length, too, this perfectly-proportional wine edges out even the Chevalier-Montrachet. I’m so used to it being the other way around in instances where these two sites can be directly compared that this demonstration of quality amazes me, even allowing for a centuries-long tradition of hype. This ought to be worth following for more than a decade. - WA
