Puligny-Montrachet

1er Cru Les Folatières - Récolte du Domaine

The name of the terroir derives from "follots" which was located in humid places, often foggy.

A dream vintage which offers generous volumes and superb quality. Water is a major player during the winter which allows the vines to build up their reserves before a particularly hot and dry summer. Favored by a mild spring, flowering took place perfectly with beautiful and numerous clusters. No major climatic incident hampers the growing cycle. The harvest, which was in impeccable health, took place from August 27 to September 15.
