The domaine of Etienne Sauzet is made up of 26 acres, much of it in the heart of the finest premier cru vineyards of Puligny-Montrachet. The average age of the vines is 30-35 years. Gérard Boudot, owner of Domaine Sauzet, is seeking maximum finesse and an individual expression of the terroir in his wines. Boudot, who married the granddaughter of the late Etienne Sauzet, runs the domaine and has modernized and improved the vinification, making Sauzet wines among the most sought-after white wines of Burgundy. The estate has been bottling 100% of its production since the early 1950's. Since 1975, the domaine has been selling the entirety of its production in bottle. The white wines of Puligny-Montrachet are some of the most famous and most widely acclaimed in the world. This is undoubtedly due to the local microclimates and the clay, siliceous sand and lime contents of the soil.

Sauzet's 2022 Bourgogne Blanc bursts with aromas of pear, white flowers and toasted nuts, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and saline palate that's fleshy but vibrant. It's based on domaine fruit, complemented by some 15% that's bought in.

The 2022 Bourgogne Blanc, aged in one foudre and 10 barrels, has an attractive, lilting bouquet with red apple and light pear scents. The palate is slightly bitter on the entry, with modest depth, and just a little short on the finish at the moment.
