Batard-Montrachet Etienne Sauzet 1996 is an extraordinary Chardonnay that transcends time, showcasing the pinnacle of craftsmanship from one of Burgundy's most esteemed domains. Etienne Sauzet, a family-run winery established in the early 20th century, has garnered a reputation for crafting age-worthy wines that capture the essence of Batard-Montrachet's prestigious Grand Cru terroir. The 1996 vintage, considered excellent for Burgundy, promises a truly remarkable drinking experience. This dedication to quality continues under the current generation, ensuring wines that are both expressive and impeccably balanced. The grapes for this Batard-Montrachet originate from Grand Cru vineyards, renowned for producing wines of exceptional finesse and aging potential.
A fascinating fragrance of ripe white fruits, such as pears and apples, with subtle notes of truffle or hazelnut, honey, and spice should be expected. The wine opens elegantly on the palate, displaying a harmony of ripe fruit notes, a hint of minerality, and a thick, creamy texture. Hints of honeyed fruit compote mingle with floral notes and a touch of earthy, autumnal forest floor. Consider savoring it alongside richly flavored dishes like lobster thermidor, roasted chicken with creamy mushroom sauce, or decadent white truffles. The wine's elegance also complements richer cheeses like Comte or Gruyere. Batard-Montrachet Etienne Sauzet 1996 is a wine for special occasions. Its prestigious provenance, exceptional quality, and captivating complexity make it perfect for celebrating milestones, sharing with loved ones over a gourmet meal, or simply indulging in a moment of pure luxury.
