Energy and refinement define the 2022 Domaine de Montille Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatières Premier Cru, which layers ripe stone fruit and a touch of the exotic over a spine of vibrant acidity and chalky mineral tension. Subtle oak frames flavors of peach, pear and citrus zest, leading to a long, focused finish that feels both sunny and tightly coiled. This is a poised, detailed Folatières that should gain complexity with time in bottle.

Domaine de Montille’s Puligny‑Montrachet 1er Cru Les Folatières is a Chardonnay from one of Puligny’s largest and most highly regarded premiers, grown on shallow calcareous‑clay soils high on the slope near the Grand Crus. The wine typically shows fine, floral aromatics and citrus/white‑stone fruit framed by saline minerality and a subtle nutty/oak texture, combining precision and richness with clear aging potential that often invites comparison with the great Premier and even some Grand Cru whites of the Côte de Beaune.
