Just three kilometres from Young along Murringo Road, planted to a brisk 500 metres above sea level, Grove Estate was originally sown to vines in 1886, by Croatian settlers who brought cuttings from their farms on the Dalmatian coast. Some of these ancient plantings, emigrated at a time when much of Europe was ruled by Hapsburg emperors, remain productive to this day.

Etienne Sauzet Puligny Montrachet Folatieres 2003 - Buy
Chardonnay Montrachet France
Les Folatieres takes it's name from local folklore, which recounts how the slopes around Puligny would come alive on warm summer nights with St Elmo's fire. The distinguished climat of Les Folatieres is the largest of Puligny's Premiere Cru vineyards, it lies near the summit of a slope midway between Meursault and Montrachet, where the elevated mesoclimes impart a juicy minerality to the wine. Domaine Sauzet acquires much of his fruit from the upper reaches of the vineyard, to construct a richly endowed wine of great elegance, intensity and length.
Grapes are hand picked off a half hectare of Chardonnay vines forty years of age. The berries are hand sorted to remove grey rot but and cull any under ripe fruit before passing through a pneumatic press and cold settling at 10C to 12C for up to twenty four hours. The musts are vinified at 18C to 22C for three to six weeks in a selection of new and seasoned Allier French oak barriques. The wines complete their malolactic and remain in barrel for eleven months through a course of battonage on gross lees before assemblage and transfer to tank for a further term of six months elevage on fine lees. The finished wine is given a light fining and filtration, followed by a final pass through a membrane filter.
Deep straw hue. White florals and brioche nose, salted almond and spiced mineral, gravel and apple notes. Medium bodied palate with crystalline textures throughout, applejack and pears, fresh baked characters, petit fours and buttered florals. An elegant finish with mineral grip, lingering hints of developed citrus, florals and nut.
