Etienne Sauzet tends to dial down the use of new oak, preferring a level of around 20% new for its 1er Cru Chardonnays. The domaine vineyards have been farmed biodynamically since 2010. On the 2016 Champ Canet. "An expressive yet cool nose offers up aromas of citrus peel, floral and white-fleshed orchard fruit that are trimmed in just enough wood and menthol to notice. There is good vibrancy to the delicious and exceptionally rich middle weight flavours that possess outstanding complexity on the beautifully long if still youthfully austere finale. At least some patience will definitely be required." Burghound, 2018
