Etienne Sauzet, Batard Montrachet Vintage:2009 This is an interesting wine

This is an interesting wine because while there is good power the overall impression is one of restraint

dusty and beautifully long finish

weight and punch to the relatively elegant broadshouldered flavors that possess good depth and length but there is a surprising lack of punch

but still in a distinctly fruity style

this wine can be drunk now or cellared for another 15-20 years

Etienne Sauzet, Batard Montrachet Vintage:2009 This is an interesting wine(from a . 22 ha parcel of domaine owned vines in Puligny and aged in 50% new wood). Reduction currently dominates what appears to be notably ripe fruit. By contrast there is a lovely sense of energy to the bigger, richer and more powerful full bodied flavors that also coat the palate with dry extract on the impressively long and equally complex finish. I mildly prefer the Bienvenues Btard Montrachet because of its marginally better sense of verve but
