2023 Domaine Etienne Sauzet Puligny-Montrachet Les Truffières 1er Cru

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 managed the estate since 1974. Little by little, he managed to rediscover the typical characteristics of the various terroirs, and for the last ten years, he has been producing magnificent Pulignys. He now works together with his daughter. Gérard Boudot derives the concentration of his wines from a harvest picked as late as possible and in good health. He achieves the finesse and the characteristic elegance through his slow vinification. This harmony is found in both his standard Chardonnay and his Grand Crus, always with the very typical terroir nuances. Known worldwide, these wines have become almost impossible to find.

Domaine Etienne belongs to the absolute top of Burgundy, and its white Burgundies hardly need any introduction. The Puligny-Montrachet Village wines come from 12 postage-stamp-sized plots located from north to south in Puligny. This 100% Chardonnay Puligny Montrachet has a lively bouquet with light aromas of oyster shells. The wine is very well balanced with lively acidity, crisp and taut, with a vibrant green apple and fresh nectarine finish with a beautiful length. Very refined, elegant, and sophisticated in taste. One of the 'benchmark' village wines from Puligny-Montrachet from one of the village's very best producers.
