Puligny-Montrachet 2021 1er Cru Les Folatières, Domaine Sylvain Bzikot

£109.95 per bottle

ABV 13.5%

The largest and quite possibly the finest Premier Cru vineyard in Puligny-Montrachet. Vines are located near the famous Le Montrachet Grand Cru and have an average age of 55 to 60-years old.

Much richer and riper on the nose (in comparison to Puligny-Montrachet ‘La Rousselle’) with lemon citrus, peach and apricot intertwined with deft floral tones. Rich and generous yet extremely bright and vibrant on the mid-palate with great energy that reverberates throughout the palate and into a long, linear, and persistent finish.

Sylvain & Béatrice Bzikot own an impressive estate of 15 hectares in Puligny-Montrachet.  Sylvain’s grandfather arrived in Burgundy from Poland just before the second world war and steadily built up the estate in the post-war years when land was plentiful and cheap.  For a long time, most of the crop was sold in bulk to the Burgundy negociants but now all is domaine-bottled.
