The combination of fruit forward

2023 | Etienne Sauzet Puligny-Montrachet | Cote de Beaune Gran Araucano the 2021 Merlot Vintner SelectA pale lemon and lime. Super clear. The bouquet needs a little coaxing, with a citrus touch, exceptionally precise and refined, like the Chassagne shows its class and style much more on the palate. Middleweight, very persistent. I can see how this would grow as you work your way down the bottle. Drink from 2027 2030.
