The 2024 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru “Les Folatières” from Domaine Jean Chartron is a stunningly elegant and expressive Chardonnay that showcases the lifted, mineral-driven character of one of Puligny-Montrachet’s most celebrated Premier Cru vineyards.
The nose is vibrant and aromatic, revealing layers of citrus blossom, white peach, Meyer lemon, crushed stone, and delicate hints of toasted almond and acacia flower. On the palate, the wine is beautifully refined and energetic, combining silky texture with striking precision and tension. Notes of lemon curd, ripe orchard fruit, hazelnut, chalk, and saline minerality unfold with exceptional clarity and persistence.
Les Folatières is known for producing wines of finesse and aromatic complexity, often sitting stylistically between the richness of Meursault and the precision of classic Puligny. The cooler, more classical 2024 vintage emphasizes freshness, purity, and terroir transparency, resulting in a Premier Cru of remarkable balance and aging potential.
