Bzikot Pere & Fils - Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatières 2020

Continue Shopping Add to Wish List

Site: the central part of the Côte de Beaune comprises an area predestined to produce great white wines, and Puligny-Montrachet is certainly one of its most glorious examples. Among its Premier Crus, the vineyard of Les Folatières is one of its most famous, occupying a central position at mid-slope.

History & tradition: the name Folatières may come from « feu follet » in French, (St Elmo's fire). According to popular imagination, these fires could be seen on a warm summer night in the forests nearby or coming up from the valley below.

Soil: limestone. Very chalky and stony; a great part is actually limestone debris

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.
