2021 Domaine Etienne Sauzet Blanc Bourgogne
Winemaker Notes: 25 years later, not much has changed in terms of the demand on Etienne Sauzet. Sauzet creates benchmark wines not only for Puligny Montrachet but for all of Burgundy. Current winemaker, Emilie Boillot, Etienne’s great grand-daughter, has amazingly raised the bar, farming biodynamically, reducing yields, and employing a more rigorous selection of grapes. The resulting wines are nothing short of fantastic and the new releases from Burgundy’s fantastic 2021 are out of this world!
The Bourgogne Blanc gives drinkers the opportunity to have the fruit of Burgundy’s all-time great white producers. And as many of you probably could have guessed, this bottle is probably the best of all the Bourgogne Blancs and really gives wines twice and three times the price a run for its money.
CRITICAL ACCLAIM
Vinous - "The 2021 Bourgogne Blanc has a more pithy nose than its peers, with touches of wild peach and candle wax complementing the malic scents. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, hints of Clementine and sour lemon with fine tension on the simple, yet effective finish."
