Etienne Sauzet, Puligny Montrachet Les Combettes 1er Cru, 2010
🏰 The 2010 vintage in Burgundy is highly regarded, particularly for white wines, which are often described as having excellent balance, freshness, and aging potential. Etienne Sauzet is a celebrated producer in Puligny-Montrachet, known for crafting wines that express the unique terroir of their vineyards. The Puligny-Montrachet Les Combettes 1er Cru 2010 is considered a "stop you in your tracks wine," very close to Grand Cru quality, long, highly charged, and powerful with a stylish silkiness. It offers intense flavors of earth, lemon curd, orange pith, and crushed stone aromas, with a fine bead of acidity and a saline finish. The domaine has been biodynamically certified since 2010, focusing on limited yields and late harvests to enhance terroir expression. 【 Grand Cru quality from a biodynamically farmed Premier Cru 】.
🍴 This elegant white Burgundy pairs wonderfully with rich seafood dishes like lobster, scallops, or grilled fish with butter sauce. It also complements roasted chicken or veal, creamy risottos, and a variety of soft, creamy cheeses. The wine's acidity and complexity can stand up to richer flavors while still highlighting its delicate nuances.
🥂 The Etienne Sauzet Puligny-Montrachet Les Combettes 1er Cru 2010 is a wine for significant occasions, offering a profound and evolving tasting experience. It's perfect for a milestone anniversary, a sophisticated corporate dinner, or a serious wine tasting among connoisseurs. It needs 7 to 15 years in the cellar to reach its drinking peak, suggesting it is now entering a beautiful drinking window. Serve at a cool cellar temperature to appreciate its full aromatic spectrum..
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.
