"The Carillon,Sauzet,Leflaive and Chateau de Puligny-Montrachet domains (as well as a few others) produced marvelous 1996s",
Pierre-Antoine Rovani. (The Wine Advocate. #115. February 1998).
Pierre-Antoine Rovani goes on to taste the above two Puligny-Montrachets:-
"The 1996 Sauzet Les Folatieres has super-ripe cookie dough aromas intermingled with dry rock dust scents,Its highly-focused,bright,and almost striking medium-bodied character is packed with buttered almonds,minerals,and white flowers".
(91 Points).
"Aromatically displaying very refined flint,stones and smoke,the superb 1996 Carillon Puligny-Montrachet Les Referts is an austere,strict,yet expansive beauty.This wine has great richness,broad-shoulders,a medium to full-body,and unbelievable focus.Its highly-detailed flavor profile is packed with minerals,orange rinds,flowers,and sautéed mushrooms that seem to last forever on its exceedingly long and pure finish.Readers searching for leesy,oaky,and fruit-packed wines for near term drinking are well-advised to stay away from this brooding monster".
(92-94+ Points).
