Log in / Sign up Domaine de Montille Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatières 1er Cru 2019
"Folatières" comes from the old French "Foletière", a place haunted by goblins, legendary creatures, and leprechauns with liveliness and grace. It typically conjures up a vision of dancing wisps. The vineyard is large and hardly homogenous. We have the privilege of a single parcel of 0.52 hectares located in the heart of the cru, at mid-slope, and with two prestigious neighbours on each side (Domaines Leflaive and Leroy.)
With the quality of this terroir, part limestone, part clay, we believe this is one of the three best Premier Crus of Puligny along with "Le Cailleret" and "Les Pucelles". It merits a placement among the "Great Premier Crus", those that rival the Grand Crus.
It is a remarkable cru – fine, airy, playful yet complex, floral, and spicy. Its mouthfeel is generous but structured and lengthy, which indicates a long aging potential.
