2023 Domaine Bzikot, Bourgogne Cote d'Or Blanc

This remarkable little wine from Bzikot is labeled "Bourgogne Côte d'Or," which means that all the grapes are sourced from high-quality villages within both the Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits (which collectively make up the Cote d’Or), and in this case, all the fruit comes from Puligny-Montrachet and a nearby vineyard. This Bourgogne Côte d'Or designation underscores the superior nature of the fruit that makes this wine. Bzikot’s Bourgogne Blanc Côte d'Or includes both village designated fruit from within the Puligny-Montrachet appellation (specifically from a vineyard "Les Houllières," which lies just below Grand Cru, Bâtard-Montrachet, an extraordinary terroir) as well as a Bourgogne designated vineyard in Puligny area but just outside the confines of the appellation. A great, everyday wine to enjoy this year or next with tons of complexity and class for a song.
