Description
This relatively small domain is located in the tiny village of Puligny - Montrachet. Gérard Boudot is married to the granddaughter of Etienne Sauzet and has managed the domain since 1974. Little by little he managed to rediscover the typicality of the different terroirs and over the last ten years he has been making beautiful Puligny's. Now he works with his daughter. Gérard Boudot gets the concentration of his wines from a harvest picked as late as possible and healthily. He achieves the finesse and characteristic elegance through his slow vinification. This harmony can be found in both his regular Chardonnay and his Grand Crus, each with the very typical terroir nuances. Known worldwide, these wines have become almost impossible to find.
Domaine Etienne Sauzet is one of the absolute top in Burgundy and its white Burgundy hardly needs any explanation. The Sauzet Jardin du Calvaire Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune has an attractive nose with apple blossom aromas, aromas of melon and sweet stone fruits mixed with fresh herbs. The taste is well balanced with light spices, opening of orange peel, quite spicy on the palate with good energy. The wine is a medium to full fleshy wine with lively acidity and a salty aftertaste.
FACT: The wine is in our conditioned Wine Warehouse and if you pick up the wine you will also receive a nice discount. We are almost next to the highway with plenty of parking. Click here for address.

The relatively small Etienne Sauzet domain is located in the village of Puligny-Montrachet. This world-famous producer of white burgundy actually needs little explanation. After all, owner and winemaker Gérard Boudot has given the domain world fame. From the day Etienne Sauzet died during the harvest in 1975, Boudot has been Sauzet's responsible winemaker.
For several years Gérard Boudot has been assisted by his daughter Emilie and son-in-law Benoit Riffault. Benoit has been responsible for winemaking in recent years, with Gérard in a coaching role in the background.
Sauzet wines are the pinnacle of purity, elegance, finesse and terroir expression. After first experimenting on a few plots, plots have been biodynamically processed since 2009. In recent years, all vineyards have been cultivated on the basis of biodynamic agricultural principles. Gérard Boudot gets the concentration of his wines from the harvest that was picked as late and healthy as possible. He obtains the finesse and the so characteristic elegance through a slow vinification. This harmony can be found both in his ordinary Chardonnay and in his Premiers Crus and Grand Crus, each with the very typical terroir nuances. The style of the wines is very precise, flawless and expressive, whereby the different terroirs are clearly visible. Currently they are again among the absolute top for white Burgundies.
