At twenty percent, this sees just a touch more new wood than the previous premier crus, but still sufficiently low enough to really let the terroir shine through in 2014. The bouquet is excellent, offering up notes of apple, peach, a fine base of soil, fresh almond and a floral topnote redolent of acacia blossoms. On the palate the wine is very soil-driven, full-bodied and focused, with really lovely fruit, impeccable balance and impressive cut and grip on the vibrant and complex finish. This will not demand much bottle age to really start to drink well and I would opt for opening the Referts ahead of both the Champ Gains and Clos de la Garenne in this vintage. Classy juice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #222223;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #9f250d;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBurghound:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e This flirts with the exotic with its elegant and ripe nose of white peach, lychee nut, acacia and soft wood nuances. There is a bit more volume and richness to the seductively textured medium-bodied flavors that coat the palate with sap before terminating in a vibrant, balanced and beautifully complex finish.

Sauzet's wines are prized for their elegance at village level and for their extra weight and concentration at Premier and Grand Cru level. The portfolio includes leading examples of Chevalier-Montrachet, Le Montrachet and Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru Champs Gain. The domaine is made up of 15 hectares (37 ac) of estate vineyards split between the communes of Puligny-Montrachet, Cormot-le-Grand and Chassagne-Montrachet with small amounts of fruit externally sourced. The grapes are fermented in oak and aged in barrel for around a year – premier crus see up to 33-percent new oak, while grand crus get 40-percent. After barrel aging, the wines are racked into tanks for another six months on lees. Etienne Sauzet was established at the forefront of Puligny-Montrachet production by Etienne Sauzet himself (1903-1975). His 12 hectare (30 ac) estate was taken over by his son-in-law Gérard Boudot, although in 1991 Boudot's cousin Jean-Marc Boillot took out his share of vineyards, requiring Boudot and his family to make additional acquisitions to bring the property back to its current size.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"CaskCartel.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43002124730506,"sku":"","price":1144.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2395\/7103\/files\/26_945ff4b8-724a-499d-a169-2be6c419b3b5.jpg?v=1686767414","url":"https:\/\/caskcartel.com\/es-it\/products\/2014-etienne-sauzet-les-referts","provider":"CaskCartel.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
