The 0.7 hectare parcel is planted with vines over 35 years old in relatively deep soils interspersed with lots of gravel, and is the fourth largest premier cru holding at the domaine — aged in 33% new oak, a proportion consistent with the other premier crus in the range. Les Referts sits on the lower mid-slope of Puligny, where the clay content in the soil builds flesh and volume into the wine — giving it a character that one experienced taster described as sitting between Puligny and Chassagne in its earthy, herby depth, without ever losing its appellation's essential freshness and line.\u003cspan class=\"inline-flex\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eA very classy nose with vivid Granny Smith apple, crushed limestone and lemon scents conveying genuine joie-de-vivre; the palate very well balanced with wonderful tension and impressive weight, a touch of orange rind and lime toward the finish with fine persistence on the aftertaste. A little more ripeness and tropical character than the other Sauzet cuvées in certain vintages — pineapple, nectarine and citrus peel — yet with a delineation and mineralité that upholds the sense of Puligny-Montrachet throughout; well balanced and weighty in the mouth, building gradually toward harmonious, subtle spice on the finish. Ripe lemon, apple, toasted hazelnut and vanilla — a richer style of white Burgundy that holds its shape entirely because of the underlying acidity and minerality. Cellar for five to eight years and allow it to reveal the considerable depth beneath its early charm.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Etienne Sauzet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47315009011877,"sku":"1461068","price":287.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0659\/2597\/2133\/files\/Puligny-Montrachet1erCruLesReferts.png?v=1781567477"},{"product_id":"etienne-sauzet-puligny-montrachet-1er-cru-les-perrieres-2011","title":"Etienne Sauzet Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Perrieres 2011","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eDomaine Etienne Sauzet is the reference address for Puligny-Montrachet — a family estate whose grand cru and premier cru holdings represent some of the finest white wine terroir in the world, and whose winemaking under Benoît Riffault is celebrated for its precision, clarity and terroir fidelity. Les Perrières is among the most mineral-driven and intellectually compelling of all the Puligny premier crus — a 0.7 hectare parcel on fine clay soils with small stones, which give the wine extraordinary relief, energy and a saline persistence that immediately distinguishes it from the richer, more opulent premier crus further down the slope. The vines span 0.48 hectares on compact limestone and clay, and the wine is raised in 33% new French oak barrels — a restrained use of wood that ensures the terroir character is never obscured, and that Les Perrières speaks in the language of stone rather than barrel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe name itself tells you everything: this is a vineyard of rocks, and the wine tastes of them. Fresh almond, lemon confit with salt and vibrant energy on the nose — taut and incisive from the first moment. Restrained and lifted mineral aromas with smoke, apple core and white flowers give way to a palate of beautiful intensity and impressive laser-like focus and purity, opening up a substantial mid-palate before the mineral-edged acidity and phenolic grip bring everything precisely back into line. Uncommon purity and tension for a premier cru — a wine that the Revue du Vin de France awarded 97 points in its finest vintages. Give it five years minimum, and expect it to repay patience with one of the most compelling mineral expressions Puligny-Montrachet produces.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Etienne Sauzet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47315009044645,"sku":"1461067","price":256.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0659\/2597\/2133\/files\/Puligny-Montrachet1erCruLesPerrieres.png?v=1781567076"},{"product_id":"etienne-sauzet-puligny-montrachet-2014","title":"Etienne Sauzet Puligny-Montrachet 2014","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Etienne Sauzet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47315009077413,"sku":"2216088","price":315.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0659\/2597\/2133\/files\/233_696479ac-c858-4df9-892e-7667a66fde9b.png?v=1771560472"},{"product_id":"etienne-sauzet-puligny-montrachet-2015","title":"Etienne Sauzet Puligny-Montrachet 2015","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Etienne Sauzet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47315009110181,"sku":"2452346","price":275.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0659\/2597\/2133\/files\/233.png?v=1771560438"},{"product_id":"etienne-sauzet-chassagne-montrachet-les-encegnieres-2011","title":"Etienne Sauzet Chassagne-Montrachet Les Encegnieres 2011","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Etienne Sauzet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47315009142949,"sku":"1573283","price":154.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0659\/2597\/2133\/files\/232.png?v=1771560253"},{"product_id":"etienne-sauzet-chassagne-montrachet-les-encegnieres-2014","title":"Etienne Sauzet Chassagne-Montrachet Les Encegnieres 2014","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Etienne Sauzet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47315009175717,"sku":"2217083","price":299.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0659\/2597\/2133\/files\/232_c1038375-6b4b-40ad-983c-68fa470a7ebc.png?v=1771560291"},{"product_id":"etienne-sauzet-chassagne-montrachet-les-encegnieres-2015","title":"Etienne Sauzet Chassagne-Montrachet Les Encegnieres 2015","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Etienne Sauzet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47315009208485,"sku":"2576383","price":289.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0659\/2597\/2133\/files\/232_ff36c2b4-3363-41ff-81dd-21b16ee935cb.png?v=1771560269"},{"product_id":"etienne-sauzet-chardonnay-bourgogne-2016","title":"Etienne Sauzet Chardonnay Bourgogne 2016","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Etienne Sauzet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47315009241253,"sku":"SAUZBOUR16","price":124.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0659\/2597\/2133\/files\/SAUZBOUR16.jpg?v=1766038562"},{"product_id":"etienne-sauzet-chardonnay-bourgogne-2017","title":"Etienne Sauzet Chardonnay Bourgogne 2017","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Etienne Sauzet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47315009274021,"sku":"SAUZBOUR17","price":128.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0659\/2597\/2133\/files\/SAUZBOUR17.jpg?v=1766038565"},{"product_id":"etienne-sauzet-chardonnay-bourgogne-2018","title":"Etienne Sauzet Chardonnay Bourgogne 2018","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Etienne Sauzet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47315009306789,"sku":"SAUZBOUR18","price":127.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0659\/2597\/2133\/files\/SAUZBOUR18.jpg?v=1766038568"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0659\/2597\/2133\/collections\/Etienne_Sauzet.png?v=1781848363","url":"https:\/\/wine.thestunnedmullet.com.au\/collections\/etienne-sauzet.oembed","provider":"The Stunned Mullet Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
