Reviews of 2006 Domaine Etienne Sauzet Puligny Montrachet Chardonnay
90 points, Burghound June 2008 (from parcels everywhere in the commune that are segregated into 8 different cuvées aged in
20% new wood and then assembled into the final blend just before bottling). Here the nose is even fresher with white flower,
pear and brioche hints preceding racy, intense and relatively round flavors that retain a fine sense of underlying detail and
good punch on the balanced and vibrant finish that also displays a subtle minerality. A terrific villages.
Mike Supple, JJ Buckley June 2007 Strong green apple and lime zest with a notable chalky minerality. Rounder on the palate with more tropical notes of banana and a touch of pineapple. Creamy on the finish with a nice cleansing acidity.
91 points, Wine Spectator June 2008 A textbook Puligny, elegant and silky in texture, offering lemon, toast and hazelnut flavors. Harmonious and balanced, with a succulence midpalate and a mouthwatering finish. From seven different parcels around the appellation, each vinified separately, then blended together. Drink now through 2014. 450 cases imported. —B.S.
About 2006 Domaine Etienne Sauzet Puligny Montrachet Chardonnay
About the Winery Domaine Etienne Sauzet
The white wines of Puligny-Montrachet are probably the most famous and
most widely acclaimed in the world. This is undoubtedly due to the
local microclimates and the clay, siliceous sand and lime contents
of the soil. The domaine of Etienne Sauzet is made up of 26 acres, much
of it in the heart of the premier crus vineyards of Puligny-Montrachet.
Gérard Boudot, owner and winemaker of Domaine Sauzet, is seeking
"maximum finesse and an individual expression of the climat." M.
Boudot, who married the granddaughter of the late Etienne Sauzet,
runs the domaine and has modernized and improved the vinification,
making the wines of this domaine among the most sought-after white
wines of Burgundy. The estate has been bottling 100% of its production
since the early 1950's. Since 1975, the domaine has been selling the
entirety of its production in bottle. M. Boudot ferments and ages 100%
of the premiers crus and grand crus in small oak, one-third of it being
new French wood. The average age of the vines is 30-35 years. "This
is one of the most serious estates in Burgundy. The wines are usually
among the very best made... They are textbook white burgundies,
brimming with flavor, yet elegant and well-balanced." Robert M. Parker, Jr., The Wine Advocate
