Cellar/Tasting Notes
The wines of Domaine Etienne Sauzet are among the most sought after white wines of Burgundy and the tradition to the land as well as new innovation has made it so.

The 2011 Bourgogne Chardonnay has a nose of fresh fruit, baked apple and bubble gum. On the palate, it has refreshing back..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Ripe cherry and dark berries on the fragrant, smoky nose. At once rich and lively, offering intense bitter cherry and cassis flavors... Finishes on a note of smoky bacon fat, with good tangy persistence."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
Fairly deep garnet-red. Distinctive fruity, spicy and vegetal nose. Round, robust and savory palate revealing more of the nose aromatics. Structure and freshness on the finish. A good wine that will appeal to lovers of classic Medoc.

Cellar/Tasting Notes
... the 2009 Les Gravieres is the best wine proprietor Denis Barraud has ever produced. Yields were not terribly low at 38 hectoliters per hectare, but this wine (made with 100% Merlot and finishing at just under 14% alcohol) has a spectacular, even flamboyant nose of pen ink, graphite, blackberry..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
The 2011 Beaune Rouge Premier Cru is an elegant wine, quite full in body with red and black fruit aromas and spices. It has a mellow texture with good tannins which will help it to mature. It will perfectly accompany delicate meat dishes as well as most cheeses.

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Deep aromas of citrus skin, smoke, minerals and spices, with a saline complexity. Ripe on entry, then dense and concentrated but pliant and very smooth. Leads with its strong, clear fruit tones of orange sorbet and lemon. Very ripe, accessible, well-balanced Champagne with excellent lingering..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
Very appealing, ripe, fresh dark fruit with considerable elegance and intensity; lots of depth and great texture. Tremendous quality for the money.

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The 2010 St. Aubin is gorgeous. Smoke, slate and spices frame an expressive core of yellow stone fruits. This is another textured, open 2010 from Jadot. Seemingly endless layers of fruit stain the palate as the wine opens up in the glass. Rich, textured and creamy, the 2010 can be enjoyed today or..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
The Santenay Clos de Malte Blanc is a rich and structured wine. It is elegant and fresh, giving off fruity aromas as well as lemon-scents and subtle hints of wood.
