WINE DESCRIPTION

Etienne Sauzet Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru 'Les Referts' is a highly sought-after white wine produced by the renowned Etienne Sauzet winery in the Puligny-Montrachet appellation of Burgundy, France. The wine is made from Chardonnay grapes grown in the Les Referts vineyard, which is known for its limestone-rich soil and ideal south-east facing slope. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the best grapes, gentle pressing, and aging in oak barrels for up to 18 months. The resulting wine is a beautifully balanced and complex expression of the terroir, with notes of citrus, white flowers, and minerality. It is a perfect example of the elegant and refined style of white Burgundy wines.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Etienne Sauzet Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru 'Les Referts' is a stunning white Burgundy that captivates with a complex bouquet of hazelnuts, white nectarine, white peach, and lemon zest. The palate is velvety and concentrated, with gorgeous notes of honey, lemon balm, and intense minerality.The finish is long and vibrant, with a hint of spice and white pepper. A truly remarkable expression of terroir that will cellar beautifully.
