97+ JG "The 2010 Sauzet Montrachet, which all hails from the Chassagne side of this great vineyard, is also brilliant in this vintage. The deep, reserved and stunning nose offers up a magical blend of apple, lemon, white peach, smoky notes, citrus peel, iodine, a brilliantly complex base of soil and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and very, very pure and refined, with great intensity at the core, superb acids and stunning length and grip on the perfectly focused and quite closed finish. A great Monty in the making!"

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
Chassagne-Montrachet is a village AOC in Burgundy's Cote de Beaune with numerous Premier Crus, renowned above all for rich, nutty, mineral Chardonnay whites, though it also makes firm Pinot Noir reds.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
