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.

Giannikos Winery - Domaine Etienne Sauzet
Giannikos Winery bezit 8 ha wijnstokken op twee locaties, één in Korinthe rond de wijnmakerij en de andere in Mycene, nabij de beroemde archeologische vindplaats en geboorteplaats van de Griekse wijnbouw bijna 4000 jaar geleden. Beide wijngaarden worden strikt biologisch geteeld omdat men ervan overtuigd is dat alleen natuurlijk geteelde wijnstokken gezonde druiven kunnen produceren die de basis vormen van hun kwaliteitswijnen. Een ander belangrijk aspect is de invloed van de zee op het microklimaat. De verkoelende winden zorgen samen met de mediterrane zon en de bodem voor de beste omstandigheden en zijn de redenen dat Giannikos Winery internationaal inmiddels al zeer gewild en bekend is maar gezien de kleine productie. Griekenland heeft een rijk erfgoed van inheemse druivensoorten en bij Giannikos Winery heeft men als filosofie om de traditie en nieuwe technologie te verenigen. Daarom teelt men biologisch en oogsten en snoeien men zorgvuldig met de hand. In de wijnmakerij gebruiken ze moderne stalen tanks, ultramoderne machines en Franse eiken vaten van geselecteerde fabrikanten.
