The Domaine Etienne Sauzet is a celebrated vineyard in Puligny-Montrachet, in the south of Burgundy in France. This wine estate was founded by Etienne Sauzet in 1935 and is still managed by the Sauzet family today. The estate spans 17 hectares, covering the exclusive vineyards of Puligny-Montrachet Les Enseignères, Bienvenue-Bâtard-Montrachet and Chevalier-Montrachet. The estate produces Chardonnay white wines from the classic grape varieties typical of the region. Each wine is produced from a selected vine and almost all its wines are aged in French oak barrels. The goal of the estate is to capture the unique terroir of Puligny-Montrachet and the distinctive expressions of varied vineyards. The meticulous and refined approach to vine cultivation and winemaking is at the heart of the exceptional reputation of this domain. The vines are plowed by hand, the works are done manually and the grapes are harvested by hand. The harvest is done very early in the morning to preserve the freshness of the fruit. The estate's cellar is made up of French oak barrels two to four years old according to the PDOs, which are wholly matured in oak barrels. The wine is then bottled according to the schedule established and the wine is aged in bottle for at least 4 months before its release. The wine produced by the Domaine Sauzet is characterized by a unique balance between power and finesse, a varied aromatic expression and a rich, silky palate. The enigmatic Bienvenue-Bâtard-Montrachet is arguably the most renowned red wine of the wine estate, but the Village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru appellations of the estate are all equally remarkable. This domain is recognized for the white wines it produces and a quality viticultural culture. The wines of Domaine Etienne Sauzet are the perfect manifestation of the ancestral excellence of Burgundy and one of the best terroirs of France.
