The Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Folatières from Domaine Bachelet-Monnot is a refined Chardonnay that expresses one of the most prestigious Premier Cru sites in the Côte de Beaune. Sourced from limestone-rich, well-exposed slopes, the wine reflects both concentration and pronounced minerality typical of this vineyard.
In the glass, it shows a bright lemon-gold color with notable clarity. The aromatic profile is precise and layered, combining notes of pear, apple, and citrus with subtle hints of white flowers, light spice, and restrained oak.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied, with a silky texture supported by vibrant acidity that gives structure and tension. Flavors of stone fruit and citrus are complemented by a distinct mineral backbone, creating a balanced and focused profile.
The finish is long and persistent, marked by freshness and subtle complexity. With strong aging potential, the wine evolves over time toward more nuanced notes of honey and nuts, making it a classic, terroir-driven expression of Puligny-Montrachet.
