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.

Pleasantly ripe apple and floral notes. There is not too much tension, but the acidity is not really lacking - the wine is refreshing but not brisk. Well done. This is a large cuvée - 12 parcels spread over seven lieux-dits. The grapes were picked on the 22nd August at pH 3.2. Lightly crushed and settled, then fermented in cask (15% new).

The 2021 Puligny-Montrachet Village exhibits aromas of citrus oil, crisp green apple, white flowers and warm bread, followed by a medium-bodied, lively and fine-boned palate that's bright, mineral and understated.
