The estate has a total of 10 hectares of vineyards, which are spread across some of the most prestigious appellations in Burgundy, including Puligny-Montrachet, Chassagne-Montrachet, and Meursault.

The wines produced by Etienne Sauzet are known for their elegance, finesse, and complexity. The estate is particularly renowned for its white wines, which are made from Chardonnay grapes grown in the limestone-rich soils of Burgundy. These wines are characterized by their bright acidity, minerality, and notes of citrus and stone fruit.

In addition to its white wines, Etienne- auzet also produces a small amount of red wine, made from Pinot Noir grapes grown in the same vineyards as the white grapes. These wines are known for their delicate aromas of red fruit and their silky tannins.

Overall, Etienne- auzet is a producer that is highly regarded by wine enthusiasts around the world. Its wines are a true expression of the terroir of Burgundy, and they are sure to impress even the most discerning palates.

Montrachet is an Appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) and Grand Cru vineyard for white wine made of Chardonnay in the Côte de Beaune subregion of Burgundy. It straddles the border between the two communes of Chassagne-Montrachet and Puligny-Montrachet and produces what many consider to be the greatest dry white wine in the world. It is surrounded by four other Grand Cru vineyards all having "Montrachet" as part of their names.

Montrachet itself is generally considered superior to its four Grand Cru neighbours, and this is reflected in its higher price. Montrachet is located in the south of the Côte de Beaune, which is the southern half of the Côte d'Or, which in turn is the most important of the several wine producing subregions of Burgundy.

The Montrachet vineyard is almost equally divided between Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet. Both of these appellations have, as is customary, appended the name of their most famous vineyard (in this case a shared one) to the name of their main village. The wine from the Chassagne side is usually known as Le Montrachet while the wine from the Puligny side is known as Montrachet.
