Etienne Sauzet Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Pucelles

In astounding condition. Yellow gold in colour. Some botyritus and amazing richness. Robust and developed white spice and saffron. Mature and nutty with no signs of undue oxidization whatsoever, just appropriate age and development. Remarkable shape really. Rich, dense, slightly oily. Such a treat that is was this clean. Perfect seal on the cork with an audible pop.

Fresh at first but starts to fall off very quickly. Still mostly clean with a bit of zip remaining, advancing yellow fruit flavours. Interesting to try. Some reduction, old yellow fruit, dark spices.

Lovely gold, quite big legs. Rich hazelnut butter and melon nose, with an interesting spicy edge. Big smooth and spicy vanilla in the mouth, some fruit still. 3+
