• When to drink this wine : Now to 2029
• Tasted by William Kelley: "Tasted blind, Sauzet's 2015 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Champ Canet presents well, with an elegant bouquet of spring flowers, grapefruit and crisp white peach. On the palate, the wine is quite full-bodied, bright and brilliant, with a structured mid-palate, racy acids and a pure, delicately stony finish."
