🏰The 2018 Bachelet Monot Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatieres 1er Cru hails from a 【rising star domaine in Burgundy, known for producing crystalline, pure, and concentrated Chardonnay from old vines and prestigious terroirs】. This white 布根地 Premier Cru, from a ripe vintage, offers a fascinating mix of austerity and full ripeness, showcasing a crisp pale lemon color. The nose presents a light but classy reduction, opening to lemon and peach flesh, with a finish of peach and fresh apricot. Expect discreet wood notes, softly exotic aromas of white and yellow orchard fruit, and plenty of floral elements, alongside a pronounced minerality. The palate is medium to full-bodied with a silky texture, vibrant acidity, and flavors of stone fruit and citrus, all supported by a distinct mineral backbone, leading to a long and persistent finish. 🍴 This refined Chardonnay is an exquisite pairing for grilled lobster, turbot with butter sauce, and poultry in creamy sauces. It also complements pasta, cured meats, shellfish, gamey meats, white sauce dishes, and meaty fish. 🥂 Perfect for a celebratory meal or a sophisticated tasting, this wine is drinking beautifully now but also has excellent aging potential. Serve at 12-14°C (54-57°F) to fully appreciate its complexity and aromatic nuances.
