Reviews of 2004 Sauzet, Domaine Etienne Puligny Montrachet Hameau de Blagny Premier Cru Chardonnay
90 points, Burghound July 2006 An airy and highly perfumed nose combines with pure, refined and wonderfully detailed middle weight flavors that just ooze an intense, even pungent minerality, culminating in a bone dry and completely linear finish that some may find austere at present. This has a character all its own and is quite distinct from the La Garenne.
89 points, Stephen Tanzer October 2006 (bottled in March of this year, with the rest of the Sauzet crus) Flowers, sweet butter and truffle on the nose, along with a slightly muscaty suggestion of menthol. Dense but quite dry, even a bit spiky, with lively lemony acidity. Very much an uphill wine. Finishes quite pure, with sneaky length.
89 points, Wine Spectator January 2007 Sleek and well-toned, this white offers lemon and mineral flavors backed by a mouthwatering profile. Has moderate intensity, followed by a clean, kinetic finish. Best from 2008 through 2018. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 75 cases imported. –BS
About 2004 Sauzet, Domaine Etienne Puligny Montrachet Hameau de Blagny Premier Cru Chardonnay
About the Winery Sauzet, Domaine Etienne
The white wines of Puligny-Montrachet are probably the most famous and
most widely acclaimed in the world. This is undoubtedly due to the
local microclimates and the clay, siliceous sand and lime contents
of the soil. The domaine of Etienne Sauzet is made up of 26 acres, much
of it in the heart of the premier crus vineyards of Puligny-Montrachet.
Gérard Boudot, owner and winemaker of Domaine Sauzet, is seeking
"maximum finesse and an individual expression of the climat." M.
Boudot, who married the granddaughter of the late Etienne Sauzet,
runs the domaine and has modernized and improved the vinification,
making the wines of this domaine among the most sought-after white
wines of Burgundy. The estate has been bottling 100% of its production
since the early 1950's. Since 1975, the domaine has been selling the
entirety of its production in bottle. M. Boudot ferments and ages 100%
of the premiers crus and grand crus in small oak, one-third of it being
new French wood. The average age of the vines is 30-35 years. "This
is one of the most serious estates in Burgundy. The wines are usually
among the very best made... They are textbook white burgundies,
brimming with flavor, yet elegant and well-balanced." Robert M. Parker, Jr., The Wine Advocate
