RATINGS

91+ The Wine Advocate

It is a precise, finely cut Puligny laced with exquisite aromatics and finely chiseled fruit. A persistent vein of minerality frames the delicate, understated finish. This is a classy effort from Sauzet.

Lemon drop on the nose, lifted by fresh herbs. Lemony but rich and ripe; in a softer style but with good stony lift.
