Tasting Notes
In the glass, it offers a bright, polished appearance that hints at both ripeness and restraint. The nose opens with white-fleshed fruit such as pear and apple, lifted by fresh citrus, a touch of honey, and a subtle reductive minerality that adds tension and complexity. On the palate, the wine is broad and intense from the outset, yet never feels heavy. Layers of ripe, clean fruit are supported by chalky, gravel-like mineral notes and a creamy, concentrated texture, while fine acidity keeps everything precise and vibrant. Hints of bacon fat, nuts, and delicate spice emerge in the background, giving the wine a long, refined finish and strong aging potential over the next decade or more.

Production
Champ Canet is a premier cru vineyard in Puligny-Montrachet, an area known for limestone-rich soils that lend Chardonnay its signature mineral drive and elegance.

Vinification at Domaine Etienne Sauzet is guided by a traditional Burgundian approach that emphasizes purity, terroir expression, and textural finesse.

Food & Serving

Serve it slightly chilled, ideally around 12-14°C, to allow both freshness and texture to shine.
