The 2020 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru from Etienne Sauzet, a revered producer, promises a classic expression of fine white Burgundy. Expect a vibrant bouquet of citrus fruits like lemon and grapefruit, crisp green apple, and subtle white floral notes, underpinned by a distinct minerality often described as wet stone or flint. As the wine opens, delicate hints of toasted almond, hazelnut, and a touch of vanilla or brioche from careful oak aging will emerge. On the palate, it will be dry, structured, and elegant, with a refreshing acidity that carries concentrated flavors of orchard fruit, lemon zest, and a profound mineral core. The finish will be long, precise, and complex, showcasing both power and finesse.
