Etienne Sauzet, Montrachet Vintage:2015 The fruit is sweeter and Vintage:1000 The fruit is sweeter and purer than in the Crown Prince bottling this is a clear notch up in elegance and is clearly finer with an ultra high toned floral and spice infused nose that is almost completely closed in though this may be due to a subtle touch of reduction and I would suggest decanting this if you’re going to try a bottle young I suspect that this will ultimately come together with 5 ish or so years of bottle age but it’s not clear that it will ultimately surpass either the Bâtard or the Chevalier The broader shouldered flavors possess an almost painful intensity with plenty of muscle and mouth coating sap that manages to adequately buffer the slightly warm and youthfully awkward finish
