A lean, racy style, this delivers lemon tart, apple and chalky, minerally notes. Mouthwatering and long on the finish. Drink now through 2024. 70 cases made.

The 2017 Beaune 1er Cru Les Pertuisots offers up a pretty nose of crisp green orchard fruit, citrus zest, blanched almonds and fresh peach. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, elegantly textural and incisive, with good depth at the core, racy acids and a delicately chalky finish. This is a classy, beautifully balanced Pertuisots that isn't as rich and sun-kissed as some of Sauzet's more dramatic cuvées this year.
Winemaker Notes
The white wines of Puligny-Montrachet are probably the most famous and most widely acclaimed in the world and Domaine Etienne Sauzet is made up of 26 acres, much of it in the heart of the premier crus vineyards. From the 1er cru Pertuisots vineyard in Beaune, this over-delivers in quality for the price. It's what to drink while you wait for your Puligny-Montrachet to mature. There is brilliantl minerality to nose along with cistrus zest, a creamy mouthfeel creamy and a long, layered finish A fine balance of ripeness and restraint for the 2015 vintage.
