What to Expect
While Burgundy is renowned as the home of Pinot Noir, it is also the source for the ubiquitous Chardonnay grape. In these gently rolling hills Chardonnay achieves some of its most profound expressions. Appellations such as Meursault, Montrachet, and Corton Charlemagne proudly take their place among the most sought-after in all the world of wine. With a richness and complexity few wines can match, Chardonnay from Burgundy adds classic hints of flinty and chalky soil with nuances tones of nuts, cinnamon, honey and butter to the rich, sometimes unctuous but rarely heavy, ripe orchard fruits that the grapes are capable of providing. White Burgundy can improve in the bottle for decades and is arguably the most age-worthy dry white wine in the world.
Winemakers Notes
Etienne Sauzet founded the domaine based in the village of Puligny-Montrachet in 1903 with 12 hectares. In 1974 his grand-daughter Jeannine married Grard Boudot and they took over completely in 1975. Since then the reputation of Sauzet has grown hugely. One of the handful of the very best in Puligny.

Fine Wines
Strong green apple and lime zest with a notable chalky minerality. Rounder on the palate with more tropical notes of banana and a touch of pineapple. Creamy on the finish with a nice cleansing acidity. Mike Supple. A Chardonnay wine from Burgundy in France. 2006 Domaine Etienne Sauzet Puligny Montrachet 750ml
