Les Folatieres is a .3 hectare plot located in the middle of a steep slope, with poor soil, where the bedrock can be seen peeking through. The 50-year-old vines benefit from the poor soil and good sun exposure.
Les Folatieres produces a rich, opulent and lively wine. It is charming when young with notes of yellow fruits and toasted bread, and over time becomes more airy and floral with great intensity.
"The 2019 Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatières 1er Cru has a strict, focused bouquet of crushed rock, touches of orange blossom and a light licorice aroma developing in the glass. This shows more complexity than the other Pulignys from the domaine. The palate is well balanced with a slightly reduced entry. Good weight and density, although it slams the door shut on the finish. Actually a little Meursault-like on the nutty aftertaste. - Neal Martin"
