Chassagne-Montrachet Les Encégnières Etienne Sauzet 2018
The wine
This Chassagne-Montrachet opens into a very fine bouquet with fruity (citrus, apricot, mango) and floral (white flowers) aromas, with a marked minerality. This wine deserves to be aged for a few years.
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.
