Product Description
The 2023 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru “Les Folatières” from Domaine Philippe Chavy is a stunning example of one of the most prestigious Premier Cru vineyards in Puligny. Situated mid-slope and just below the Grand Cru hillside of Le Montrachet, Folatières is known for its airy floral character, refined texture, and deep minerality.

Philippe Chavy vinifies this cuvée with his signature restraint—using native yeasts, low-intervention techniques, and aging in French oak barrels (25–30% new) to enhance, not overwhelm, the terroir. The result is a wine of finesse, power, and precision—true to its noble origins.
