2017 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru ‘Les Folatieres’ Domaine des Heritiers Louis Jadot
£99.00
“This wine is ripe, full of rich fruit and generous in its texture and fruitiness. White fruits and hints of tropicality go with the wood-aging spiciness. This young wine still has a great textured character that will soften. Drink from 2024.”
Puligny-Montrachet, situated to the south of Meursault and to the north of Chassagne Montrachet, shares with Chassagne a handful of the greatest white wine vineyards in the world. The Premier Cru vineyards of Puligny Montrachet, noted for the exceptionally high and consistent quality of the wines they produce, stretch across the upper half of Puligny’s slope from Meursault to Chassagne.
The Folatières climate lies near the summit of this slope, above Clos de la Garenne roughly midway between Meursault and Montrachet. The clay and chalk soil, which is very stony, drains well and warms through easily. This wine is vinified and then aged in wooden barrels for 12-15 months before bottling.
