Histoire du domaine
Étienne Sauzet founded the estate in Puligny-Montrachet in the first half of the 20th century, starting with vines he had inherited and subsequently expanding through further acquisitions. He gradually developed the estate, which, according to industry sources, reached just over 12 hectares by the middle of the century. On his death in 1975, his granddaughter Jeanine and her husband Gérard Boudot took over the management of the estate. A division of the estate’s assets in 1991 then significantly reduced the vineyard’s original area. Since then, the estate has supplemented its own vines by purchasing grapes for certain cuvées. Émilie Boudot joined the business from the 2000 vintage onwards, followed by Benoît Riffault in 2002. Benoît Riffault gradually took charge of winemaking and succeeded Gérard Boudot in this role. The vineyard is now managed using biodynamic methods, under the responsibility of Émilie Boudot and Benoît Riffault.
