Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Hameau de Blagny Etienne Sauzet 2017

The wine

The Hameau de Blagny Puligny-Montrachet offers a bouquet that is complex, fruity (apple, peach, pineapple and lemon), mineral, and floral. The very subtle palate offers a fruitiness that is offset well by acidity.

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.
