Domaine Etienne Sauzet Batard Montrachet Grand Cru 2020

Domaine Etienne Sauzet’s Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru 2020 is a striking expression of one of Burgundy’s most prestigious white wine terroirs, where purity, concentration, and finesse come together in remarkable harmony. This is a wine that reflects both the power of the vintage and the pedigree of the site, showing the kind of depth and precision that has made Sauzet a benchmark for grand cru Chardonnay in Burgundy.

Tasting Notes
The 2020 vintage opens with an inviting bouquet of white peach, ripe pear, and delicate floral notes, framed by subtle hints of toasted nuts and gentle spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied yet beautifully lifted, with a vibrant acid spine that keeps the wine precise and energetic despite its luxurious texture. The mid-palate is creamy and layered, unfolding with stone fruit, citrus, and a refined chalky minerality that speaks clearly of its grand cru origin. The finish is long, composed, and wonderfully balanced, leaving lingering impressions of citrus zest, hazelnut, and minerality. Built for the cellar, this wine has the structure and complexity to evolve gracefully for many years.

Production
Made from Chardonnay grown in the heart of Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune, this Grand Cru comes from one of the region’s most celebrated limestone-rich terroirs, where drainage, exposure, and soil composition contribute to the wine’s exceptional clarity and intensity. The grapes are carefully harvested to preserve freshness and balance, and vinification is handled with precision to emphasize site expression, texture, and aromatic complexity.

Food & Serving
This is a wine for refined cuisine: think lobster, turbot, scallops, roast free-range chicken with morel cream sauce, or elegant dishes with truffle and subtle butter-based sauces. Serve chilled but not too cold, ideally around 12–14°C, and consider decanting for 20–30 minutes to allow the aromas and texture to open fully.
