Etienne Sauzet, Puligny-Montrachet
Subtle changes have taken place at Etienne Sauzet, since Gérard Boudot’s daughter Emilie and her husband Benoît Riffault became increasingly responsible for day-to-day activities. Benoît grew up on his family wine domaine in Sancerre, but his boots today are 100% caked with the soils of Puligny-Montrachet. Etienne Sauzet’s wines have been bio-dynamically cultivated since 2009, which has resulted in lessening yields, with aromas which are purer and more precise. The estate has ECOCERT organic certification, and many of the vineyards are 70 years old, Benoît told us. This is another superb vintage here, and we warmly recommend that you let us know your wishes as soon as possible, as our allocations cover a wide range of great wines, but volumes are modest.
