Benoit and Emilie of Etienne Sauzet

The last of our alphabetically organised tasting articles: reviews of wines tasted by Matthew in the Côte d’Or and by our team in London. Jon Wyand took the photo above of Benoît Riffault and Emilie Sauzet of Etienne Sauzet in Puligny-Montrachet. For more on this vintage, see Burgundy 2024 – guide to our coverage.

The 108 wine reviews below are grouped alphabetically by producer (sur)name and within those groups are ordered whites before reds, ascending from generic through village, premiers and grands crus.
