Bzikot Pere & Fils - Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatières 2018 (1.5L)

Continue Shopping Add to Wish List

The Puligny Montrachet appelation is in the Côte de Beaune, known for the greatest of the Burgandian whites in and around the Montrachet vineyard. The Les Folatieres vineyard sits between 820 feet to 985 feet of elevation on clay & limestone. The vineyard is divided into four climats: Ez Folatieres, En la Richarde, Peux Bois and Au Chaniot. One suggestion is that the name is derived from folles-terres, crazy earth, created when hard driving rain erodes the soil.  Another suggestion is that Folatières is where folletes, patches of misty fog or ghostly forms collect. Made from organically farmed Chardonnay grapes.

An amazing story not typical of Burgundy, the Bzikot family are Polish emigrés who arrived in Puligny just before the war with nothing but the clothes they stood in. From those very humble beginnings this family domaine has managed to acquire an impressive 4ha of some of the most valuable agricultural land in the world in Puligny-Montrachet. With minimal intervention in the vineyards and cellar, Sylvain Bzikot produces wines that are at once ripe and rich, yet elegant and complex. Affable and fun-loving, he is one of the underground wine making stars of the region.
