2022 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Hameau de Blagny, Etienne Sauzet

These vines lie high on the hill, near to Blagny, so benefit from cool breezes and lower summer temperatures, to ensure that precious natural acidity is retained. In a hot vintage like 2022, this plot comes into its own. Colour is richly golden, aromas fresh, ripe and complex. Palate was relatively closed when tasted in October 2023, but the fruit concentration was remarkable, with density and well-sustained follow-through (for drinking 2025-2028+).
