Medium- to full-bodied, satiny and suave, with a layered core and a mineral finish, it will offer a broad drinking window.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sc-gsVtoj LvGNj\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; margin: 0px; margin-block-start: 1.25rem; color: rgb(28, 28, 28); font-family: Nunito, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; border: 0px solid rgb(221, 221, 221);\"\u003e\u003cem style=\"box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; margin-block: 0px !important; border: 0px solid rgb(221, 221, 221);\"\u003eBenoît Riffault presides over this 15-hectare Pulingy-Montrachet reference point, and his 2024s have turned out very nicely. Opting not to chaptalize, with the exception of the Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Beaune, the wines are pure and precise, with increasing texture and density as one ascends the appellation hierarchy. But what are the rudiments of winemaking at this address today? Hand-harvested fruit is pressed without crushing, the press cycle lasting around three and a half hours and performing \"quite a few\" rotations to crumble the marc. The must is sulfited at the end of the press and settled for 24 hours, but Riffault retains most of the lees, fermenting in wood with ambient yeasts. Larger formats, including foudres, now complement 228-liter Burgundian barrels. The wines are racked to tank in July-August before the new vintage, whereas the premiers and grands crus spend as much as six months on their lees before bottling. All of Sauzet's wines are bottled with high-quality unbleached natural cork.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; margin: 0px; margin-block-start: 1.25rem; color: rgb(28, 28, 28); font-family: Nunito, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; border: 0px solid rgb(221, 221, 221);\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; margin: 0px; margin-block-start: 1.25rem; color: rgb(28, 28, 28); font-family: Nunito, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; border: 0px solid rgb(221, 221, 221);\"\u003eThis wine is NOT available to export outside Ireland. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; margin: 0px; margin-block-start: 1.25rem; margin-block-end: 0px !important; color: rgb(28, 28, 28); font-family: Nunito, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; border: 0px solid rgb(221, 221, 221);\"\u003e*Best ever was in 2010.  Our last vineyard to visit on that trip was Sauzet, and when Gerard Boudot heard that we were stuck in Beaune because of the Icelandic Ash Cloud, he opened a few more bottles of 1er cru Champ Canet.  Happy days! \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WebWines IE","offers":[{"title":"75cl","offer_id":55358377820498,"sku":null,"price":250.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/1929\/9154\/files\/PulMontrachetEtienneSauzet.jpg?v=1793988107","url":"https:\/\/www.webwines.ie\/products\/puligny-montrachet-1er-cru-champ-canet-2024-domaine-etienne-sauzet","provider":"WebWines IE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
