From vines directly under Bâtard-Montrachet, the 2024 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Enseignères has a very attractive nose with flecks of yellow plum and grilled almonds, an underlying mineralité that comes through with aeration. The palate has a touch of reduction on the entry but you can tell the weight is already in situ, a fine bead of acidity, quite spicy with a persistent finish. One to look out for.

Pale lemon and lime. A stylish, elegant Chassagne. All in finesse, but with nuances as well, plenty of fine boned detail with a lemon rinse over the apple. Notably persistent, understated yet fine. Drink from 2028-2031.

About the Winery

The domaine of Etienne Sauzet is made up of 26 acres, much of it in the heart of the finest premier cru vineyards of Puligny-Montrachet. The average age of the vines is 30-35 years. Gérard Boudot, owner of Domaine Sauzet, is seeking maximum finesse and an individual expression of the terroir in his wines. Boudot, who married the granddaughter of the late Etienne Sauzet, runs the domaine and has modernized and improved the vinification, making Sauzet wines 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. The white wines of Puligny-Montrachet are some of 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.
