Domaine Etienne Sauzet Puligny Montrachet 2021

Domaine Etienne Sauzet Puligny-Montrachet 2021 is a beautifully poised expression of one of Burgundy’s most admired white wine villages. With its hallmark purity, precision, and mineral drive, it captures the elegance that has long made Puligny-Montrachet a benchmark for refined Chardonnay.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a bright, pale golden hue that hints at its freshness and finesse. The nose opens with citrus oil, crisp green apple, white flowers, and a subtle note of fresh-baked bread, giving the wine an elegant and layered first impression. On the palate, it is lively and finely balanced, with a taut chalky minerality that frames the fruit beautifully. Lemon zest, lime, green apple, and a delicate touch of ginger unfold in a linear, focused style, supported by a smooth, lightly creamy texture. The finish is dry, clean, and precise, with excellent length and a lingering citrus-mineral aftertaste. This is a village wine with impressive complexity and transparency, and the cool character of the 2021 vintage gives it both tension and finesse. It will drink well now, but also has the structure to develop further over the next few years.

Production
This wine comes from Puligny-Montrachet in the Côte de Beaune, where limestone-rich soils and a cool Burgundian climate contribute to its distinctive mineral precision. The grapes are typically harvested by hand to preserve quality and select only the best fruit, and the vinification is carried out with great attention to detail to emphasize freshness, purity, and the expression of terroir.

Food & Serving
This style of Chardonnay is ideal with elegant dishes such as grilled fish, scallops, lobster, poultry in cream sauce, or fine mushroom risotto. Serve it cool, around 10-12°C, to bring out its brightness and mineral edge. Decanting is not necessary when young, but a short aeration can be beneficial if you want to open up its aromatic detail.
