Description
In a nutshell:
A lovely, fresh and crisp Burgundy Chardonnay.
The lowdown:
This wine comes from a single vineyard situated just near those of Puligny-Montrachet. As prices for wines from Puligny and its neighbouring villages of Chassagne and Meursault get ever higher there are some fantastic wines to be had from nearby plots made by top producers labelled 'Bourgogne Blanc'. Only a small proportion of this wine has been aged in oak, the rest in stainless steel, so the fresh lemon and stone fruit aromas are maintained and the creamy oak flavours are more subtle. Balanced with great acidity and a pleasingly lengthy finish.
The Producer:
Based in the heart of the Côte de Beaune village of Puligny-Montrachet Sylvain Bzikot makes wines with real personality. His medium sized estate was originally created by his grandparents in the 1940s who arrived, as Polish immigrants, to work in the vineyards around the neighbouring village of Meursault. After a few years of working in the fields they were able to gradually acquire small parcels of land. At first it wasn't just vines; cereals were also cultivated and cattle raised. But now that his parents have retired Sylvain's focus is on the vineyards and the estate started bottling their own wines around the turn of the century. Vineyard work is carried out in a traditional manner and all grapes for village wines are handpicked before being pneumatically pressed to aid soft extraction.
When to drink:
Will pair well with most shellfish and white fish as well as roast pork or chicken.
