Puligny-Montrachet

1er Cru Les Folatières

The name of the terroir is derived from "follots" -will-o'-the-wisps- which were active in humid places, often foggy.

Vineyard

The largest terroir of the village, facing East and with a maximum sunshine. So, it has an early maturity. The Chardonnay can express its power and elegance because of the important presence of limestone scree and the shallow subsoil. We have there three different purchases of grapes.
