Etienne Sauzet, Bienvenues Batard Montrachet Grand Cru, 1995
🏰The 1995 Etienne Sauzet Bienvenues Batard Montrachet Grand Cru is a magnificent white Burgundy from a highly respected producer, offering 【profound complexity, exceptional richness, and a remarkable ability to age gracefully】. Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet is one of Burgundy's most prestigious Grand Crus, renowned for producing Chardonnay of immense power and finesse. The 1995 vintage in Burgundy was generally considered a very good year for white wines, yielding wines with good concentration and acidity, built for longevity. Expect a deep golden wine with an evolving bouquet of 【honey, toasted nuts, white flowers, citrus zest, and a distinctive mineral backbone】, with a full-bodied, opulent palate and a long, resonant finish.
🍴 This Grand Cru Chardonnay demands equally grand culinary partners. It's an ideal match for rich seafood dishes like grilled lobster, roasted turbot, or scallops in a creamy sauce. It also pairs exquisitely with roasted poultry, foie gras, and truffle-infused creations. For a classic pairing, consider it with a rich chicken or veal in a cream sauce. Aged, firm cheeses like Comté or mature Gruyère would also be excellent.
🥂 This is a wine for the most significant celebrations, a cornerstone for any serious collector of white Burgundy, or a profound gift for a true connoisseur. It is a wine to be savored and contemplated, revealing its intricate layers of flavor over time.
BACKGROUND
Etienne Sauzet is an estate based in Puligny-Montrachet, France, making some of the most sought-after Chardonnay wines in Burgundy. The domaine is made up of 15 hectares (37 ac) of estate vineyards split . Etienne Sauzet was established at the forefront of Puligny-Montrachet production by Etienne Sauzet himself (1903-1975). His 12 hectare (30 ac) estate was taken over by his son-in-law Gérard Boudot, although in 1991 Boudot's cousin Jean-Marc Boillot took out his share of vineyards, requiring Boudot and his family to make additional acquisitions to bring the property back to its current size.
