2005 Etienne Sauzet, Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru, La Garenne 12x75cl

Vinous – 89

(Sauzet’s highest-altitude holding) Pale color. Musky aromas of smoke and flowers. Sweet, lush and complex, with musky flavors of citrus fruits, honey and hazelnut. This is about more than just fruit, but is it pristine enough? [Stephen Tanzer, 09/01/2007]

JancisRobinson.com – 17.0

Smoky and a bit heavy. Some lift and elegance with concentration. [12/08/2007]

Anticipated maturity: 2010-2015
