Domaine Etienne Sauzet Grand Cru, Montrachet

Sauzet's tiny Montrachet holding produces one of the appellation's most precise and mineral expressions — a wine of remarkable tension and clarity that rewards patience over decades. Under Benoît Riffault, the domaine has maintained its position at the very top of Puligny's hierarchy. In a grand cru where many producers disappoint, Sauzet consistently delivers. An important counterpoint to the weightier styles, and a reference point for what Montrachet can be at its most intellectually rigorous.
