Etienne Sauzet Batard Montrachet 2022 750ml
Wine Spectator
The 2022 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru is a touch more exotic than the elegant Bienvenues, delivering aromas of musky peach, toasted nuts, white flowers, mint and struck match, followed by a full-bodied, layered and fleshy palate with a broad attack, lively acids and a gently aromatic finish.
94-97 points - Jasper Morris, January 2024
Fresh colour, lemon and lime, not massive at all in bouquet but I am learning not to expect that chez Sauzet. A broad beamed intensity on the palate, this almost seems uncouth after the Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet, but it still has its finesse. A light oatmeal touch from young (but not new) wood, and a great deal in reserve. A fine and impressive wine, though unlike in most cellars in 2022, I am leaning towards the Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet today. But this will definitely work! Drink from 2030-2040.
