2017 Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru Perrières Etienne Sauzet, Burgund

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 2017 Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru Perrières, Etienne Sauzet

Aromas of citrus oil, white flowers, orange zest, clear honey and delicate hints of praline introduce Sauzet's 2017 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Perrières, a medium to full-bodied, enveloping wine that's racy and tensile, allying concentration, cut and texture to compelling effect. This has turned out brilliantly. - William Kelley, Feb. 2020

Allen Meadows' Burghound - 2017 Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru Perrières, Etienne Sauzet

A fresh, cool and airy nose blends notes of green apple, citrus and wet stone with plenty of floral and matchstick nuances. The intense and overtly mineral-driven medium weight flavors possess plenty of salinity on the linear, bone dry, chiseled and beautifully long finish. This is impressive but note well that it's very firmly structured and fashioned in an old school 'take no prisoners' style.

Vinous - 2017 Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru Perrières, Etienne Sauzet

Bright lemon-yellow color. Delicate, reticent aromas of crushed rock, lemon, lime, white pepper and menthol. Nicely concentrated, sappy wine with lovely intensity and texture--and classic Perrières mineral definition. The vibrant, dusty finish stains the palate. - Stephen Tanzer, Sep. 2018
