Burgundy, France – A ripe nose with candied licorice on the palate, sweet and sour – the acid is intense and it is so sweet. A velvet texture and juicy acidity, too. Dried apricot and grape concentrate on the finish – like candy, it’s that sweet.

“Sauzet’s 1978 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Champ Canet is showing brilliantly,
unfurling in the glass with a lovely bouquet of delicately buttered yellow orchard fruit,
beeswax, pastry cream, frangipane and mocha, followed by a medium to full-bodied,
satiny and enveloping palate that’s crisp but fleshy, with superb concentration, lively
acids and chewy extract, concluding with a long and expansive finish. This is a superb
wine from Sauzet’s glory days, and it’s still in the prime of life.”
