About the Session

A fine selection of white Burgundy, spanning the full range of the region's great Chardonnay appellations - from the flinty, mineral wines of Chablis through to the richer, more textured expressions of the Côte de Beaune. Highlights include Grand Cru bottlings from Chevalier-Montrachet, Bâtard-Montrachet and Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet, alongside benchmark Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet from names such as Roulot, Coche-Bizouard and Etienne Sauzet. Producers represented range from grower-estates to celebrated négociant houses, offering collectors an excellent cross-section of what white Burgundy does best.

About this Item

Etienne Sauzet
Chevalier-Montrachet 2008
1 (1 x 1) 750ml
Domaine Étienne Sauzet is one of Puligny-Montrachet's benchmark white-wine estates, run by Benoît Riffault and Emilie Boudot-Sauzet. Chevalier-Montrachet is one of the great white grands crus, on the slope directly above Le Montrachet. 2008 was a cool, classic white Burgundy vintage of racy acidity and fine ageing potential. Jancis Robinson MW gave it 17.5 out of 20, Allen Meadows from Burghound.com gave it a rating of 96, and Stephen Tanzer from Vinous gave it a rating of 94+.

Critics Ratings

"Scented. Fresh, herbal. Correct even if not amazing. Very clean and precise. Grand-cru depth. Long." - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17.5/20 (Jan 2010)

"A notably more elegant, cooler and more reserved nose of white flower, green apple and ample minerality complements to perfection the silky-textured, pure and stylish medium weight plus flavors that possess excellent volume but also wonderful detail and punch while culminating in an intensely mineral finish of superb intensity while remaining a study in purity and refinement. This is one of those 'wow' wines that amazes through transparency and delicacy rather than brute force." - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 96/100 (Jun 2010)

"Pale green-tinged yellow. Lively aromas of lime, minerals and powdered stone. Among the most classic and least exotic of these 2008s but already quite showy, with lime and stone flavors given cut by bright acidity. Finishes long, bright and energetic. This is built to age." - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 94+/100 (Sep 2010)
