Sauzet Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru 2018

Crystalline grand cru balancing honeyed richness with piercing mineral tension.

Honeyed pear and white peach emerge first. Wet limestone cuts through. Oak integration flawless—vanilla spice never intrudes. Palate shows remarkable density without weight. Citrus pith provides structure. Hazelnut richness builds mid-palate. Finish extends endlessly with saline minerality. This vintage drinks beautifully now but will reward patience. Pure Bâtard-Montrachet character—power meets elegance. Temperature matters here.
