Domaine Etienne Sauzet, established in the 1920s and currently managed by the fourth generation of the family, is a benchmark producer based in the village of Puligny-Montrachet. This wine is made from Chardonnay grown in the Jardin du Calvaire vineyard, a high-altitude site at 450 meters with steep slopes and soils composed of clay, sand, and limestone. In the glass, it shows precise aromas of citrus and white flowers alongside flavors of pear, white pepper, and a distinct saline finish. The 2023 vintage provided an abundance of fruit and warmth, resulting in a generous, approachable wine with ample texture and weight. It offers excellent balance and is ready to enjoy now, representing a reliable, high-quality choice for those seeking a classic expression of the region.
