Bourgogne Cote d'Or Blanc Domaine Sylvain Bzikot 2022
Sylvain Bzikot Cote d'Or Blanc is a rich and concentrated Chardonnay from the relatively new Cote d’Or appellation. The appellation was created in 2017 to highlight the greater potential and uniqueness of Cote d’Or Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Sylvain’s shows a marked step up in richness from his Bourgogne Blanc and has lovely deep citrus notes, almonds, green fruit and amazing freshness. It is quite a bargain!
Sylvain Bzikot’s grandfather was a Polish emigrant who arrived in Puligny just before the War with nothing but the clothes he stood up in. From those very humble beginnings this family domaine has managed to acquire an impressive 4 hectares of some of the most valuable agricultural land in the world, namely Puligny-Montrachet and Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru. They own a further 9 hectares of “regional appellation” producing Bourgogne Blanc, Aligoté and Pinot Noir.
