1999 Etienne Sauzet Puligny-Montrachet Champ-Canet | Premier Cru White Burgundy | 750ml

The 1999 Etienne Sauzet Puligny-Montrachet Champ-Canet Premier Cru White Burgundy is a collectible Chardonnay from one of Burgundy’s most admired white wine appellations. Puligny-Montrachet is celebrated for producing wines of precision, minerality, elegance, and age-worthy structure, and Etienne Sauzet is a respected name among serious Burgundy collectors.

The Champ-Canet Premier Cru vineyard brings depth, texture, and mineral intensity to the wine.

The palate is layered and mature, showing citrus oil, orchard fruit, nutty depth, mineral tension, soft creaminess, refined acidity, and subtle spice. The finish is long, elegant, and complex with lingering citrus, almond, honey, toast, and mineral notes.

The 1999 Etienne Sauzet Puligny-Montrachet Champ-Canet 750ml is ideal for Burgundy collectors, mature Chardonnay lovers, anniversary gifting, birth-year bottles, private cellars, and fine dining.
