Domaine Borgeot Puligny Montrachet Vieilles Vignes 2021

Country: France
Region: Burgundy
Appellation: Puligny Montrachet
Grape: 100% Chardonnay
The ‘Golden triangle’ of great white Burgundy is Meursault, Chassagne-Montrachet and, arguably the most distinctive of the three, Puligny-Montrachet. This 'old vine' village appellation wine displays great finesse and elegance. Pure and bright, with glints of white gold. Orchard blossoms and peaches make the bouquet. Silky and long, ending on both flowers and fruit. A great example of both Domaine Borgeot and Puligny-Montrachet.
Winemaker
The Borgeot brothers, Pascal and Laurent, have great 'touch' with Chardonnay, producing classy and distinctive regional, village and 1er cru wines in Burgundy's 'golden triangle' of Puligny-Montrachet, Chassagne-Montrachet and Meursault.
In the nearby village of Bouzeron they produce quality Aligoté, which you will find along with Pinot Noir in their Crémant de Bourgogne.
But it would be a mistake to focus only on their white wines, Santenay AOC is home turf, with the winery based in Remigny.
In Santenay they produce single vineyard village and 1er Cru. They have also strongly defended their Pinot Noir vines in Chassagne-Montrachet again with impressive village and 1er cru selections.
