Domaine Etienne Sauzet Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru 2017 is a benchmark white Burgundy from one of the Côte de Beaune’s most revered Grand Cru sites.

This is an iconic bottle that reflects both the prestige of the terroir and the long-standing reputation of Domaine Etienne Sauzet.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a deep golden hue, signaling richness and concentration. The nose opens with layered aromas of ripe tropical fruit, citrus zest, toasted almond, and subtle oak-derived notes, with a refined mineral edge underneath. On the palate, it is full-bodied and deeply textured, with flavors of pineapple, mango, lemon, and ripe orchard fruit balanced by fresh acidity and a distinct mineral backbone. The finish is long, polished, and complex, with enough structure to suggest excellent aging potential over many years.

Production
The grapes come from the prestigious Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru vineyard in Burgundy, a terroir celebrated for its limestone-rich soils and ideal exposure for producing intensely expressive Chardonnay. While detailed vinification specifics are not provided, wines from this level are typically harvested by hand and crafted with meticulous care to preserve purity, precision, and the natural depth of the fruit.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with premium dishes such as lobster, scallops, turbot, roast chicken with cream sauce, or truffle risotto. Serve it slightly chilled at around 12–14°C, and consider decanting briefly if the wine is still very closed on opening, though it can also be enjoyed directly from the bottle.

Producer
Domaine Etienne Sauzet is one of Puligny-Montrachet’s most respected producers, known for producing highly sought-after white Burgundies that emphasize elegance, terroir expression, and age-worthiness. The domaine has built a strong reputation for crafting precise, crystalline wines from some of Burgundy’s finest vineyard sites, and its Grand Cru bottlings are especially admired among collectors and Burgundy lovers.
