Saracens demolished French side Mont de Marsan with a seven try romp in their European Challenge Cup clash at Vicarage Road on Sunday.
The hosts never looked in trouble and had secured the bonus point inside 45 minutes in a lightning start to Pool Six.
England Under-20 star wing Noah Cato crossed the tryline within the opening minute, and Scrum-half Neil de Kock added his name to the scoresheet shortly after.
A penalty try and a score from Chris Wyles sent the visitors into the half-time break trailing 25-3.
Andy Saull and Ben Skirving both touched down after the break and a second second penalty further added to the visitors' woes.
