Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru Les Folatieres 2022 is an elegant and refined expression of white Burgundy at its highest level. Sourced from the illustrious Les Folatieres vineyard — one of the most respected Premier Cru sites in Puligny-Montrachet — this wine epitomises the grace, precision, and mineral depth that have made the commune a benchmark for Chardonnay worldwide. The 2022 vintage delivers excellent conditions for expressive, balanced whites: ripeness juxtaposed with firm acidity, allowing wines to exhibit both power and refinement. Louis Jadot’s mastery of Burgundian tradition — combining careful vineyard selection, respectful handling, and nuanced oak integration — results in a wine that is substantial and unforgettable. Poised between elegance and gravitas, finesse and complexity. It captures the essence of great Chardonnay from one of the world’s most revered terroirs, offering a wine of depth, poise, and enduring refinement.
Serve well-chilled at 10–12 °C (50–54 °F) to accentuate freshness and complexity. This Premier Cru celebrates food pairing as much as solo enjoyment and pairs exceptionally with: seared scallops, lobster thermidor or grilled lobster tail, herb-roasted chicken with lemon and thyme and creamy cheeses like Comté or aged Brie.
Tasting Notes
Appearance:
Pale straw with brilliant clarity and delicate golden highlights, reflecting both purity and nuance.
Nose:
Complex and inviting, opening with white peach, yellow orchard fruit, and citrus blossom, complemented by subtle aromas of hazelnut, chalky minerality, and a whisper of vanilla.
Palate:
Medium- to full-bodied and beautifully structured, with vibrant acidity that unifies flavours of ripe pear, crème fraîche, lemon zest, and stone minerals. Fine oak nuance adds gentle spice and texture without overpowering the fruit.
Finish:
Long, refined, and persistent, with lingering citrus brightness, mineral clarity, and graceful echo of orchard fruit.
