Chassagne-Montrachet Etienne Sauzet 2001
The wine
On the nose, this Chassagne-Montrachet from Domaine Etienne Sauzet exhales woody citrus notes. The mouth unfolds into a full-bodied, powerful woodiness. The finish brings freshness, with lemony notes.
About the Producer Etienne Sauzet
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.
