He began studying violin at the Conservatory at Strasburg at the age of six and began concertizing two years later. He studied under Charles de Bériot and later became the student of Henri Vieuxtemps.
Sauret made his American debut in 1872. Liszt performed sonatas with him. In 1873, Sauret married Teresa Carreño (1853-1917), a Venezuelan pianist and composer. In 1890 he was appointed a professor of violin at the Royal Academy of Music in London. His pupiles included Tor Aulin, Jan Hambourg, William Henry Reed, Florizel von Reuter, and John Waterhouse.
Sauret wrote over 100 violin pieces, including a famous cadenza for the first movement of Niccolò Paganini's First Violin Concerto, and the "Gradus ad Parnassum" (1894).
