1999 Domaine Étienne Sauzet Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru

Domaine Etienne Sauzet's 1999 Batard-Montrachet has a fabulous nose of candied white fruits, juniper berries, poached pears, and sweet, sexy spices. It is medium-to-full-bodied, broad-shouldered, and reveals great concentration in its lush, voluptuous personality. This wine is densely packed with fruits, spices, perfume, and talcum-like flavors that linger throughout its long finish. Drink it over the next 10-12 years. Importer: Vineyard Brands, Chester, VT; tel (802) 875-2139.
