Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru Folatières Domaine Chartron Jean, 2023

Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Folatières from Domaine Chartron Jean is a refined white Burgundy from one of the village’s most celebrated premier cru sites. The 2023 vintage promises the taut elegance, mineral drive, and layered Chardonnay character that make Puligny-Montrachet such a benchmark for premium white wine.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, expect a pale straw-gold color with bright clarity and a polished sheen. The nose typically opens with white flowers, citrus zest, green apple, and stone fruit, gradually unfolding into notes of hazelnut, almond, wet stone, and subtle toasted oak. On the palate, this wine should feel precise and graceful, with a fine balance between ripe fruit, refreshing acidity, and a distinctly mineral core. The finish is long and focused, with a silky texture and enough structure to develop beautifully over time. With careful cellaring, it can gain further depth and complexity over the next 5 to 10 years, and in excellent conditions even longer.

Production
Les Folatières is one of the standout premier cru vineyards of Puligny-Montrachet, known for its elevated exposure, limestone-rich soils, and excellent drainage, all of which contribute to the wine’s tension and finesse. Domaine Chartron Jean works in a classic Burgundian style, with careful hand-harvesting and meticulous selection of the fruit. Vinification is typically aimed at preserving purity and terroir expression, often with restrained use of oak and attentive maturation on lees to build texture without overwhelming the wine’s natural elegance.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with lobster, scallops, roast or grilled turbot, shellfish in butter sauces, and poultry dishes with cream or morels. It also works very well with aged hard cheeses such as Comté or Gruyère. Serve at 10-12°C, and consider decanting for 20-30 minutes if you want to open up the aromatics in its youth.
