Etienne Sauzet owns and manages vineyard plots in some of the most esteemed terroirs in Puligny-Montrachet and neighbouring appellations. The Domaine was founded in the early 20th century by Etienne Sauzet and has been managed by several generations of the Sauzet family. The portfolio includes this Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru, where numerous esteemed producers have vineyard holdings. The white wines of the 2011 vintage in Burgundy tend to be lighter and fresher compared to other vintages. While they lack the richness and intensity of some outstanding years, well-made examples such as this release still offer enjoyable fruit flavours and good acidity.

Vinous
(from white soil that produces fruit with a higher pH and lower acidity, according to Boudot): Good pale yellow. Ripe, highly perfumed nose combines pineapple, flowers, mint and humid fern. Less obviously powerful than the Batard but offers insidious intensity and a more pliant texture to its yellow fruit and mineral flavors. Tightens up considerably on the back end, finishing subtle and long, with fresh minerality and a strong chalky character.Stephen Tanzer1st September 2013
