Although "Burgundy Chardonnay" is an AC Burgundy, the vineyards are small and the production volume is small, making it extremely difficult to obtain. By the way, the vineyards for Bourgogne Blanc are 0.76 hectares, and those for Puligny-Montrachet are 3.34 hectares. It has beautiful, clean acidity, pure fruitiness, and a deep flavor. Although it is an AC Burgundy, it is a top-class Bourgogne Blanc that allows you to enjoy the depth of flavor that comes with aging.

The average age of the Chardonnay vines used is 25 years. One third of the harvested grapes are aged in stainless steel tanks and two thirds in wooden barrels, and undergo malolactic fermentation for nine months. After that, they are blended and aged in stainless steel tanks for the final two months.

Etienne Sauzet

A master craftsman of Puligny-Montrachet that is extremely difficult to obtain.

Etienne Sauzet is a talented Puligny-Montrachet player who is on par with the prestigious Leflaive. The mineral style, which beautifully harmonizes rich fruit and oak flavors, is consistent across all cuvées and has continued to fascinate Burgundy lovers for many years.


A winery pioneer who started ``Motojimi''
As it is said, ``When it comes to the maker of Puligny-Montrachet, it's Etienne Sozet or Leflaive,'' and Sozet is a talented maker who competes for number one or two in Puligny-Montrachet. A total of 17 brands including Montrachet, Chevalier-Montrachet, Batard-Montrachet, Bienvenue Batard-Montrachet, nine Premier Crus, Puligny-Montrachet, and the village name wine, AC Bourgogne. I am working on. The Sauzet family is an old family that has been in the grape growing and vegetable gardening business for about 150 years, before the phylloxera disaster that devastated grape varieties in Europe hit all of France. Since around 1935, about 80 years ago, we have been a pioneer in selling famous restaurants across France directly to customers, including the then-groundbreaking ``Domaine Motozumi''.

After Etienne Sauzet passed away in 1975, the domaine was taken over and is now run by the third generation, Jeanine and her husband, Gerard Boudot, and their daughter Emilie and her husband, Benoît Riffaud. -The winery is run by Mr. The winemakers are Emilie and Benoît Riffaud, who continue to use the name "SAUZET" to pay homage to the Chardonnay that Etienne continued to make.
