(1x75cl) 2020Wine Advocate (94)
The 2020 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Combettes is excellent, offering up aromas of stone fruits, pear, pastry cream, white flowers and fresh croissants, followed by a full-bodied, rich and textural palate, with a broad attack that segues into a layered, multidimensional palate. Powerful and broad shouldered, but nicely balanced, this is a compelling wine from Sauzet.Inc. TAX€261.08 -

Burghound (93-95)
Sweet Spot Outstanding. Firm reduction completely overshadows the fruit. Otherwise, there is excellent volume to the seductively textured medium weight flavors that exude plenty of minerality that adds lift to the succulent, balanced and gorgeously persistent bitter lemon-tinged finish that goes on and on. This isn't quite as concentrated as the Folatières but it's finer and stunningly long. This may not be the best Sauzet Combettes ever but in time, it should be in the conversation, it's that good.Inc. TAX€257.48 -

The 2022 Puligny-Montrachet Les Combettes 1er Cru is another that demonstrates quite a lot of reduction on the nose, and it is a little more fixed than others. Yet there is patently a classy wine underneath, and the reduction eases with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with the reduction evident on the entry. There is a keen line of acidity, disarmingly lovely apropos texture with a persistent, sapid and leesy finish. It just needs either a long decant or, preferably, more time in the cellar. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.Inc. TAX€1,675.68 -

The 2023 Puligny-Montrachet Les Combettes 1er Cru has another riveting bouquet with notes of white peach, orange pith and crushed limestone. It is intense but very elegant and delineated. The palate has exquisite balance and a little more rondeur compared to others. A touch more spiciness emerges toward the finish, with perhaps the longest aftertaste. This is superb.Inc.

The 2014 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru les Perrières has a terroir-driven, mineral-rich bouquet, flint and cold limestone. The palate is fresh and saline on the entry, good density here with a little more spiciness than Sauzet's other premier crus. There is an edginess here, tensile and animated with impressive weight on the finish. This is very fine and probably deserves 2-3 years in the cellar. This is one of the domaine's best premier crus in 2014.Inc. TAX€3,129.36 -

Wine Advocate (91-93)
The 2016 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Perrières did not quite display the panache of the enticing Les Referts, though it is redeemed by a subtle touch of aniseed, a leitmotif among several other whites within the Côte de Beaune. The palate is very well balanced with a fine thread of acidity, crisp and taut, perhaps less showy and complex than the Les Referts, although there is plenty of freshness on the finish. If you want a strict, no-frills, straight-onto-the-fairway Puligny, this is where to come.Inc. TAX€1,267.68 -
Decanter (95)
A buttery, ripe apple fruit, with a hint of mineral and a suggestion of beeswax. The palate is rich and hedonistic, although it lacks a bit of the lemony freshness some will love. Sauzet farms 0.6ha in Perrières at the bottom of the premier cru band that gives a rich, dense result. The grapes are lightly pressed and fermented in cask (20% new) before ageing two winters.Inc.

The 2021 Puligny-Montrachet Les Perrières 1er Cru has a perfumed, crushed rock/flinty bouquet that has more vigour than the La Garenne. The palate is quite weighty in the mouth, with a bit of reduction at the moment, lightly spiced towards the finish. Give this a couple of years in bottle as I appreciate the energy.Inc. TAX€342.68 -

(1x75cl) 2006Vinous (92)
(from 50-year-old vines) Subtle, musky aromas of peach, nut oil and fresh hazelnut. Fat, sweet and oily, with lovely ripe acidity framing the fresh peach flavor. With its very strong fruit, this is like biting into a perfectly ripe grape. Really stains the palate on the sweet, long finish. This cuvee got a bit of acidification, notes Boudot.Inc. TAX€205.02 -

The 2020 Puligny-Montrachet Village comes from the usual 12 parcels situated in 7 lieux-dits. This has a reserved, backward nose that takes time to open in the glass. It’s a bashful thing. The palate is very well balanced with a fine bead if acidity but again, it is tight and linear. Just a touch of reduction on the finish indicates that it will be best with 3-4. years in bottle.Inc. TAX€691.68 -
Vinous (89-91)
The 2021 Puligny-Montrachet Village has a taut and strict nose, well defined, green apple mixed with subtle petrichor/wet pavement scents. The palate is well balanced with lemon zest, lime and a dab of ginger, gently building towards a nicely composed and delineated finish. This should give 8-10 years' drinking pleasure.Inc.

(3x75cl) 2022Experience the splendour of fine white Burgundy wine with the Eugenie Chassagne Montrachet Perclos 2022. Exquisitely crafted amongst the verdant slopes of Chassagne-Montrachet, the vines enjoy perfect sunlight exposure, caressed by nurturing winds that embody the Burgundian terroir into each grape. This opulent wine is an homage to the unparalleled winegrowing and winemaking practices revered by Domaine Eugénie, an estate founded in 2006 by François Pinault. The tasteful derivative of Chardonnay grapes, this entrancing elixir showcases a vibrant spectrum of flavours. Indulge in the melange of creamy lemon curd, ripe green apple, toasted almonds with a spume of minerality, precisely encapsulated within a firm structure that promises remarkable ageing potential. You can be certain: Eugenie Chassagne Montrachet Perclos 2022 is more than just a wine. It is the spirit of Burgundy, captured in a bottle.

(6x75cl) 2006Wine Spectator (92)
Rich and generous, with vanilla and milk chocolate accenting black cherry, plum and mineral flavors. A powerful red, this is balanced and long, with a sweet, spicy aftertaste. Best from 2011 through 2024. 35 cases imported. -BSInc. TAX€2,460.72 -
(6x75cl) 2008Vinous (94+)
Good medium red. Subtle, pure, high-pitched aromas of black cherry, blackberry, violet and licorice. Chewy, intense and penetrating, with plenty of stem-driven energy behind the saline, soil-driven flavors of minerals, dark berries and graphite. There's no easy sweetness here, but this builds impressively in the glass and leaves the taste buds quivering on the very long, lightly peppery back end. These firm tannins will need a decade of patience. Like the Grands-Echezeaux, this wine was aged in 80% to 90% new oak.Inc. TAX€1,902.72 -
(6x75cl) 2010Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (93-96)
(a blend of two tanks, one vinified with destemmed fruit, the other with 50% whole clusters): Red-ruby. Black cherry, licorice and oaky torrefaction on the nose, lifted by minty and peppery nuances. Very sweet and energetic on entry, then sappy and gripping in the middle, combining impressive thickness for the year with noteworthy finesse. Finishes with suave, dusty, fine tannins and subtle notes of spices and wild herbs. Great potential here.Inc. TAX€2,268.72 -
(6x75cl) 2011Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (93-95)
(25% vendange entier): Good bright red with ruby tones. Precise aromas of black cherry, licorice and herbs. Spicy and penetrating on the palate; a bit strict but offers a great combination of sweetness and minerality. At once classy and powerful, finishing with a lingering element of saline minerality and firm, noble tannins that saturate the entire mouth.Inc. TAX€2,070.72 -
Vinous (95)
(25 hectoliters per hectare): Full, dark red. Tight, primary, slightly reduced aromas of blackberry, blueberry, licorice and minerals. Densely packed, rich and broad; a distinctly horizontal, pliant style of Clos Vougeot, no doubt a function of the very warm, sunny vintage. Today this is sweeter and more open-knit than the Grands-Echézeaux but both of these wines should easily age for two decades or more. (Mallard noted that on some days this wine comes across as stricter, more Cistercian.) Finishes with spicy, ripe tannins and terrific energy and length.Inc. TAX€495.08 -
(6x75cl) 2016Decanter (96)
Last tasted in 2022, the 2016 Clos de Vougeot from Domaine d’Eugenie was a bit forbidding, with the fresh acidity and firm grip still very apparent. With a few more years in bottle, the edges have smoothed, rounded, and filled out. There are still profuse aromas of mulberry and pomegranate fruit, but there are more notes of earth, mineral, and spice; the texture is more dense than angular, but the finish has lost none of its length – this is maturing well, and should last another another 20 to 30 years.Inc. TAX€2,839.68 -
(6x75cl) 2017Vinous (94)
The 2017 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru is well defined and precise, with cranberry, raspberry and vibrant red cherry scents that soar from the glass. The oak here is very well assimilated. The well-balanced palate offers fine but firm tannins that frame the black cherry and raspberry fruit. Lovely tension and mineralité on the finish, which delivers just the right amount of spice and length. Excellent. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting.Inc. TAX€1,987.68 -

The 2018 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru has a gorgeous bouquet of dark cherry fruit, black currant, crushed stone and light iodine aromas, very pure and seductive.

Vinous (93-95)
The 2019 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru is limpid in appearance. The bouquet is very refined and offers the most fruit intensity of all d’Eugénie’s cuvées, a mixture of red and black fruit plus light touches of oyster shell and fish scales. The palate is medium-bodied with good grip on the entry. Quite a masculine and sturdy Clos de Vougeot, it will need 4–6 years to smooth its edges. But I appreciate the persistence on the aftertaste, residues of white pepper and clove lingering on the tongue. Excellent.Inc. TAX€2,203.68
