Etienne Sauzet Bourgogne Blanc Chardonnay, Burgundy, France, 2020
Etienne Sauzet is an estate based in Puligny-Montrachet, making some of the most sought-after Chardonnay wines in Burgundy.
Sauzet's wines are prized for their elegance at village level and for their extra weight and concentration at Premier and Grand Cru level. The portfolio includes leading examples of Chevalier-Montrachet, Le Montrachet and Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru Champs Gain.
The domaine is made up of 15 hectares (37 ac) of estate vineyards split between the communes of Puligny-Montrachet, Cormot-le-Grand and Chassagne-Montrachet with small amounts of fruit externally sourced. The grapes are fermented in oak and aged in barrel for around a year – premier crus see up to 33-percent new oak, while grand crus get 40-percent. After barrel aging, the wines are racked into tanks for another six months on lees.
Bourgogne Blanc is a title covering still white wines produced under the regional Bourgogne appellation, in the Burgundy region of central eastern France. Created in 1937, the broad Bourgogne title covers those Burgundy wines produced in areas not covered by more location-specific appellations.
Bourgogne Blanc wine can be made from grapes grown in any one (or more) of 300 communes from the Yonne (and the vineyards around Chablis) in the north to the southern Mâconnais.
