Domaine Etienne Sauzet Puligny Montrachet Les Combettes 1. Cru 2022

Domaine Etienne Sauzet’s Puligny-Montrachet Les Combettes 1er Cru 2022 is a refined Chardonnay that captures the elegance and precision of one of Puligny’s most admired sites. Positioned close to the Meursault border, Les Combettes often brings a little more roundness and generosity to Puligny’s signature mineral drive, and this vintage shows that balance beautifully.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the wine shows a bright, polished presence with aromas of pear, citrus zest, white flowers, toasted nuts, and a subtle minty freshness that lifts the bouquet. It is expressive without being heavy, combining finesse with clarity and a sense of depth that feels immediately alluring. The palate is satiny and layered, with ripe stone fruit and citrus framed by racy acidity and a distinct chalky grip. A discreet oak influence adds subtle complexity rather than overt weight, while the finish is long, saline, and slightly savory, with a refined touch of bitterness that suggests excellent aging potential over the coming years.

Production
Les Combettes is a prized Premier Cru vineyard in Puligny-Montrachet, located near the Meursault border, where soils and exposure can produce wines that blend Puligny’s tension with a softer, more rounded texture. The 2022 vintage reflects this terroir with impressive intensity and balance, showing both concentration and a lifted, vertical energy. Vinification is marked by careful handling and restrained oak use to preserve purity, precision, and the voice of the vineyard.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with rich but delicate dishes such as butter-poached lobster, seared scallops, roast turbot, or free-range chicken with a creamy sauce. It also works well with aged Comté, fine goat’s cheeses, or mushroom-based dishes. Serve chilled at around 10–12°C; decanting is not essential but a short aeration can help the wine open if enjoyed young.
