Brand | Etienne Sauzet |
Origin | France, Burgundy, Puligny Montrachet Premier Cru |
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 and winemaker 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.
A very classy and finessed nose the classiest so far. Quite defined for such a young wine out of the barrel. Creamy almond fruit ice cream and vanilla bean sorbet; the fruit goes on and on. Extremely concentrated.

The 2022 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Folatieres En la Richarde is another of the high points of the range, unwinding in the glass with aromas of crisp nectarine, clear honey, white flowers, nutmeg and wet stones. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered, with tangy acids that lend it terrific cut, it concludes with a long, saline finish. 92-94
