There’s an extra element of ripeness to this white, exuding flavors of peach, apricot, preserved lemon, briny mineral and toasty oak. Harmonious in a youthful way, with a creamy texture and vibrant acidity. The aftertaste goes on and on, with a multilayered feel. Superb. Best from 2029 through 2043.

Just a little bit cloudy. There is an astonishing weight of fruit nonetheless. A tiny bit of grapefruit on the palate along with this wealth of intense white fruit. The majesty is all there, this will emerge as a striking example. Poise, balance, sumptuous intensity. Very promising! Drink from 2033-2040. Tasted Oct 2025.

Sauzet's 2024 Montrachet Grand Cru is beautiful, wafting from the glass with aromas of honeyed orchard fruits, ripe apricots, white flowers, freshly baked bread and bee pollen. Full-bodied, ample and fleshy, it's pure, layered and voluminous, concluding with a broad, lavishly fruity finish. As usual, it's produced from must purchased from Baron Thénard.

The 2024 Montrachet Grand Cru comprises four barrels this year with one new, this coming from the Chassagne side of the vineyard. There was a bit of reduction on the nose here and perhaps because of this it did not quite translate the same degree of charm as the Bâtard-Montrachet. The palate is fresh on the entry, quite strict and linear. Lemon zest marks the finish to this Montrachet but it does not quite engage in the same way as Sauzet's best 2024s.
