Etienne Sauzet, Puligny Montrachet Les Referts 1er Cru, 2023
🏰 The 2023 Etienne Sauzet Puligny Montrachet Les Referts 1er Cru is from a very recent vintage, and detailed tasting notes are still emerging. However, the 2023 vintage in Burgundy is generally anticipated to be a promising one for white wines, with early reports suggesting good ripeness and freshness. Etienne Sauzet is renowned for producing Puligny-Montrachet wines that embody purity, precision, and a profound sense of terroir. Les Referts 1er Cru is known for its rich, full-bodied character, often displaying notes of ripe stone fruit, hazelnut, and a distinctive minerality, balanced by a vibrant acidity that ensures excellent aging potential. Expect a wine that, while young, will already show elegance and a complex aromatic profile, destined to evolve beautifully over time.
🍴 This youthful yet promising Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru would be an excellent match for sophisticated white meat or seafood dishes. Consider pan-seared foie gras, roasted turbot with a rich butter sauce, or even a delicate chicken ballotine with truffles. Its inherent richness and acidity will also complement creamy risottos or aged, nutty cheeses.
BACKGROUND
Etienne Sauzet is an estate based in Puligny-Montrachet, France, making some of the most sought-after Chardonnay wines in Burgundy. The domaine is made up of 15 hectares (37 ac) of estate vineyards split . Etienne Sauzet was established at the forefront of Puligny-Montrachet production by Etienne Sauzet himself (1903-1975). His 12 hectare (30 ac) estate was taken over by his son-in-law Gérard Boudot, although in 1991 Boudot's cousin Jean-Marc Boillot took out his share of vineyards, requiring Boudot and his family to make additional acquisitions to bring the property back to its current size.
