Albert Bichot Puligny-Montrachet 2022

The 2022 Albert Bichot Puligny-Montrachet is a classic Burgundian Chardonnay from the Côte de Beaune, crafted from grapes grown in calcareous clay and marl soils. The aromatic profile is characterized by subtle notes of hawthorn, almond, and apricot that evolve into scents of candied fruit and a hint of oyster shell. On the palate, the wine is sleek, round, and well-structured, featuring flavors of peach, apple, butterscotch, and toasty oak balanced by a refreshing, long finish. With approximately 13-14.5% ABV and a portion of the wine aged in oak barrels, it offers a harmonious balance of richness and acidity that pairs excellently with finely prepared seafood, shellfish, and roasted poultry.
