2020 Xavier Monnot Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru Les Folatières France

GW says: Xavier Monnot has Chardonnay running through his veins after six generations of Monnier viticulture. This beauty marries precision with panache. This wine doesn’t just whisper Puligny, it lectures on it with a bouquet of flowers in one hand and a chalkboard in the other. It’s got acacia on the nose, apple on the tongue, and limestone in its bones. There’s minerality, elegance and acidity sharp enough to cut through the fog of your third Zoom call. Xavier’s Les Folatières is Burgundy with backbone—clean, crisp, and refined enough to make your sommelier raise an eyebrow... in approval, of course

Grapes: 100% Chardonnay – Puligny doesn’t play around with second acts.

Appearance: Pale gold with just enough shimmer to make your crystal glass blush.

Aroma: Acacia, linden blossom, graham cracker, citrus zest and a flirt of Granny Smith.

Palate: Lemon-laced vitality, chalky minerals, and apple crunch with a dash of quinine complexity.
