Full, lovely and rich nose. Very classic white burg. Oak, nuts, citrus, yellow orchard fruit and gravelly mineral. Perfect balance. Toasty. Fullish palate with very good balance. Rich and structured. Fresh and acidic backbone. Gravelly mineral. Nuts, oak and yellow orchard fruit. Citrus finish. Very good. (Very true to its origin higher up on the Puligny slope.)

Still a bit disappointed due to the price as my earlier ratings are saying this is nice wine with lots of minimality but had expected more - staying at 91.

2018 Burgundy trip: White Burgs at the Bar, Le Bistro de L’Hôtel, Beaune: A better 2015 white Burgundy. Fairly gold coloured. After the initial reduction on opening, a Puligny-typical nose of lemons and limes, chalky minerals, pear, spices and gentle white meadow flowers. On palate, more Meursault than Puligny (not surprisingly, perhaps, for a climat on the Meursault border, in a warmer year). Decent acidity, the citrus here more mandarin or orange than lemon or lime. Real volume and power but a touch broader than I would, ideally, have liked. Also, prominent vanillin oak yet to integrate. Perhaps hold for 2-3 years, but I would not expect this Sauzet to be very long-lived.

Not a lot to add - happy to stay at 91- the wine has clearly opened more up - but not enough to increase the rating.

An evening at 67 Pall Mall: £28/glass at 67 Pall Mall. Loved this. Really luxurious, poised, elegance and finesse.
