Puligny-Montrachet, Les Folatières, 1er Cru, 2024
justerini & brooks tasting note
There was just one 500l barrel produced in ’21, which is a crying shame as this is pure class. Sophisticated and refined, with a seamless delivery of crushed stones, steel and citrus oils. Focussed and intense yet also quite discrete with its power. Ultra-smart. From a south-east facing plot called "au Chaniot" abutting Montrachet, in the south east corner of Folatieres, touching Cailleret and Pucelles. Here the soil is an even mix of limestone and marne clay. Aged in barrel for 12 months followed by 6 months in tank.
