Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru La Garenne Etienne Sauzet 2022

The wine

Etienne Sauzet's La Garenne Puligny-Montrachet premier cru is an elegant white wine with beautiful concentration. It will require 7-15 years' cellaring before its élevage is fully complete.

Created in 1903, the Domaine Etienne Sauzet has been producing Montrachet since the 1993 vintage. Gérard Boudot, (married to Etienne Sauzet’s grand-daughter) has managed it since 1974 and improved the domaine from the mid-1980s. Limited yields, harvesting as late as possible and classic vinification marked by débourbage (which allows very fine sur lie aging) contribute to creating wines of a very consistent and an exemplary finesse, unanimously hailed by French and foreign wine lovers. Since 1989, following a division of the domaine, Gérard Boudot, has also been trading and buying grape must to complete his production, without affecting quality. The domaine extends over 9 hectares.
