Sauzet 2021

Sauzet’s brilliant 2021s

The 2021s from Etienne Sauzet have just arrived in our warehouse. They are stunning: “many are…exemplary”, as Neal Martin puts it on Vinous. This is a fine vintage from one of Puligny Montrachet’s leading domaines.

Sauzet‘s success in the 2021 vintage is a culmination of a recent uptick in quality at this benchmark domaine. Emilie and Benoit Riffault began operating fully biodynamically in 2010, and they have been fine-tuning vinification over the last few years. 2021 was a year of devastating frost and yields were 80% down overall. The upside is that the vintage benefitted from higher levels of malic acidity than usual, giving particular energy to the wines.

As always at Sauzet, the grapes were direct pressed before fermentation in oak, followed by short lees ageing and maturation in oak. Laser-sharp focus and crisp terroir definition are the hallmarks of the domaine.

This is a superb set of wines from a textbook producer.
