Domaine Etienne Sauzet is one of Puligny-Montrachet's most prestigious estates, producing wines that are among the most sought-after white Burgundies in the world. Founded in 1903 from a vineyard inheritance, the domaine passed to Gérard Boudot, who modernized winemaking and introduced biodynamic practices across its 15 hectares. Today, Emilie Boudot and her husband Benoît Riffault continue this legacy with Grand Cru holdings in Montrachet, Chevalier-Montrachet, and Bâtard-Montrachet.
