Puligny Montrachet La Garenne Etienne Sauzet 2016 (750ML)

89-91 Points, Neal Martin, Robert Parker's WineAdvocate: "The 2016 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru La Garenne was not affected by frost and consequently enjoyed similar yields as 2015, among the highest of Sauzet's 2016s. The nose is elegant and stylish with apple blossom, brioche and hazelnut scents that lean a little toward Meursault. The palate is well balanced with a fine thread of acidity, sappy in the mouth with a crisp if just slightly abrupt, slate-like finish. Good potential and I suspect it will put on weight in bottle." 12/17

94 Points, Tim Atkin, Burgundy 2016 Special Report: "La Garenne comes from the higher part of Puligny, close to the hamlet of Blagny, and tends to produce one of the freshest and most vivacious wines in the Sauzet range. It's a very chiselled style, showing attractive oak, real zip and precision and considerable palate length. 2020-26"
