1er Cru Les Folatières

The name of the terroir derives from "follots" which was located in humid places where there were often fog.

The largest terroir of the village, facing to East and with a maximum sunshine. So, it has an early maturity. The Chardonnay can express its power and its elegance because of the important presence of limestone scree and the shallow subsoil. We have there four different origins of vines whose we purchase the grape.
