2021 Domaine Etienne Sauzet Puligny-Montrachet

This is an exceptional, benchmark village-level white Burgundy from the globally celebrated house of Domaine Etienne Sauzet. Based in the heart of Puligny-Montrachet, Sauzet is universally regarded by fine wine experts and private collectors as one of the ultimate elite names for pure, classicist Chardonnay expressions. The domain's village bottling is highly prized because it is crafted from a collection of premium, low-yielding plots distributed across the appellation, boasting old vines that lend the final blend an impressive depth, focus, and structural complexity that frequently rivals other producers' Premier Crus.
