Pungent aromas of moderate reduction and wood toast render the nose tough to evaluate today. More interesting are the caressing yet intensely mineral-driven middle weight flavors that are blessed with an abundance of dry extract that buffers the firm acid spine shaping the beautifully long finish. This needs better depth but that should just be a question of exercising some patience.

Aromas of pear, green apple, mint and nutmeg introduce Sauzet's 2022 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru La Garenne, a medium to full-bodied, satiny wine with good depth at the core and an attractively mordant finish. It's a cuvée produced with purchased grapes from a parcel farmed and harvested by the Sauzet team.

The 2022 Puligny-Montrachet La Garenne 1er Cru has distant scents of sea spray and estuarine notes on the nose, neatly combined with the green apples. The palate is well-balanced, with the 15% new oak judiciously used to lend a little more creaminess in texture towards the lightly spiced finish. It just needs more nerve and mineralité overall.
