This relatively small estate is located in the tiny village of Puligny – Montrachet. Gérard Boudot is married to the granddaughter of Etienne Sauzet and has been running the estate since 1974. Little by little he managed to rediscover the typicity of the different terroirs and for the last ten years he has been making magnificent Puligny's. He now works together with his daughter. Gérard Boudot gets the concentration of his wines from a harvest that is picked as late as possible and healthily. He obtains the finesse and the characteristic elegance through his slow vinification. This harmony can be found in both his regular Chardonnay and in his Grand Crus, each with the very typical terroir nuances. These wines have become world-famous and almost impossible to find.

Domaine Etienne Sauzet belongs to the absolute top of Burgundy and its white Burgundy hardly needs any introduction. 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 herbs, opening of orange peel, quite spicy in the mouth with a good energy. The wine is a medium to full fleshy wine with lively acids and a salty aftertaste.

  • Grilled zucchini, burrata and lemon oil salad
    The freshness of the wine enhances the citrus notes of the dressing, while the creaminess of the burrata provides a nice contrast to the lively acidity and minerality.

  • Trout with almond and parsley butter sauce
    The light fish and nutty notes of the dish match well with the fresh structure of the wine. The wine brightens the dish and supports the spiciness.

  • Goat cheese quiche with leek and thyme
    The fresh acidity of the wine cuts nicely through the creamy filling of the quiche. The spiciness of thyme matches the subtle complexity of the wine.

  • Pasta with clams, white wine and lemon
    The salty and fresh elements of the dish are brought out by the wine, which has enough tension and fruit to keep the dish lively without overpowering it.

  • White asparagus with a vinaigrette of hazelnut oil and chives
    The earthy notes of asparagus and hazelnut combine beautifully with the light, mineral style of this Chardonnay. The wine provides freshness and length in the combination.

  • Baked lobster tail with cauliflower cream and citrus zest
    A more luxurious combination in which the cauliflower cream and the sweetness of lobster emphasize the tension in the wine. The citrus accents perfectly match the aromas of the wine.

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.
