Puligny-Montrachet
1er Cru Les Folatières
Until the last day, the 2021 wine year is trying. Marked by severe episodes of frost between April 5 and 9 which significantly reduced the harvest, the vines awakening was difficult, and the months of April and May were rainy and cool. Until the harvest, which began on September 20, the brutal weather changes set their tempo: responsiveness and constant attention are necessary. Fortunately, the lull in June allowed the flowering to take place without incident and veraison was favored by good conditions which set in from mid-August.
Vineyard
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 three different origins of vines whose we purchase the grape.
