Note di degustazione
Green-tinged pale yellow. Enticing aromas of white peach, green apple, white flowers and crushed stone, with a suggestion of exotic fruits. Chewy and sweet, with an almost painful intensity to its sappy fruit and mineral flavors. With a distinctly oily, exotic quality, this wine is showy already--and the most open of this set of the Sauzet grand crus. Very long and rich on the back end.

The estate's 2009 Chevalier-Montrachet possesses breathtaking textural elegance and silkiness. It is a seamless, elegant wine of the highest level. In fact, nothing seems to stand out, as the wine captivates all of the senses in equally stunning fashion. White flowers and light floral honey wrap around the sublime, eternal finish. This is a true stand out. Dazzling.

This is a true stand out. Dazzling. Anticipated maturity: 2014+. This is a beautiful set of wines from Etienne Sauzet. Proprietor Gerard Boudot emphasized the importance of keeping yields low and picking early. The harvest began on September 7. Boudot did a very light batonnage, and the wines saw approximately 20% new oak. The 2009s were bottled beginning in August 2010, but the premier and grand crus weren’t bottled until March 2011.
