Description
Founded in 1903, the Domaine Etienne Sauze, which extends over 9 hectares, has been producing Montrachet since the 1993 vintage. Gérard Boudot (married to Etienne Sauzet’s granddaughter) has managed it since 1974 and improved the domaine from the mid-1980s. Limited yields, harvesting as late as possible, and classic vinification marked by débourbage (which allows very fine sur lie aging) contribute to creating wines of a very consistent and exemplary finesse, unanimously hailed by French and foreign wine lovers. Since 1989, following a division of the domaine, Gérard Boudot has also been trading and buying grape must to complete his production without affecting quality.
The 2023 Domaine Etienne Sauzet Puligny-Montrachet is a vibrant, terroir-driven white Burgundy with striking purity. It offers refined aromas of citrus blossom, white flowers, and crisp apple, culminating in a mineral, saline finish. Though approachable now, it will age gracefully over the next 8–12 years.
