The estate is one of the benchmark producers in Puligny Montrachet, with extensive holdings across village and Premier Cru vineyards, all farmed with a strong focus on precision viticulture, soil health and very controlled yields. Farming is certified organic and increasingly aligned with biodynamic principles, with a clear emphasis on expressing limestone driven terroir through careful canopy management and harvest timing. In the cellar, the style is defined by gentle pressing, slow and controlled fermentations, and restrained élevage in French oak designed to preserve tension, purity and finely etched mineral detail rather than overt richness or oak influence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Hautes Côtes de Beaune comes from higher altitude vineyards above the Côte de Beaune, where cooler temperatures, greater diurnal range and limestone rich soils produce Chardonnay with naturally higher acidity and a more linear profile. Compared to the more layered and textural Puligny Montrachet wines of the domaine, this cuvée is defined by energy and precision, showing a clearer, more direct expression of fruit. The wine typically presents citrus peel, green apple and white peach, alongside floral lift and a distinct chalky, saline backbone. The palate is taut and focused, with bright acidity carrying through a long, mineral finish that reflects both elevation and limestone influence. Vinification follows the Sauzet approach of gentle pressing, fermentation in barrel with native yeasts, and élevage in French oak with a restrained proportion of new wood to maintain clarity and site definition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrigin \u003cstrong\u003eFrance, Burgundy, Hautes Côtes de Beaune\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrapes \u003cstrong\u003eChardonnay\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVintage \u003cstrong\u003e2022\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlcohol \u003cstrong\u003e13.0%\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStyle \u003cstrong\u003eFresh, linear, mineral\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBottle size \u003cstrong\u003e75cl\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWinemaking \u003cstrong\u003eGentle pressing, fermentation in barrel with native yeasts, followed by élevage in French oak with a restrained proportion of new oak, focused on preserving freshness, tension and altitude driven expression\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNotes \u003cstrong\u003eOrganic, Biodynamic, Sustainable Viticulture\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine Etienne Sauzet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55514759332216,"sku":"BOURGOG-22-ETI-WHI","price":57.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0040\/6070\/8993\/files\/Bourg_HCDB_Jardin_Sauzet.png?v=1776429392","url":"https:\/\/sipwines.shop\/products\/bourgogne-hautes-cotes-de-beaune-domaine-etienne-sauzet-2022","provider":"SipWines Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
