🏰【A stunning expression of Chevalier-Montrachet, the 2015 Etienne Sauzet beautifully synthesizes the power of a ripe vintage with the inherent elegance and minerality of this Grand Cru.】 This wine delivers a classy constellation of pear, tangerine, lemon zest, crème patissière, chalky soil tones, orange blossoms, fresh almond, and vanillin oak on the nose. On the palate, it is pure, full-bodied, complex, and fairly broad-shouldered, with a bottomless core of fruit, great focus, and breed, leading to a long, racy, and complex finish. While initially a bit mute, aggressive swirling reveals wisps of petrol, matchstick, and mineral reduction, with sizeable flavors retaining excellent punch and power, evidencing ample minerality on an explosively long and intense finish. Patience is absolutely required for this wine to fully express itself. 🍴 This buttery and complex white Chardonnay is an excellent pairing for chicken and turkey. It also harmonizes beautifully with shellfish, rich fish like salmon or tuna, mild and soft cheeses, and cured meats. 🥂 An exceptional choice for a celebratory meal or a special tasting event, particularly for those who appreciate the profound evolution of a top-tier white Burgundy with age.
