2024 Jean-Louis Chavy Puligny Montrachet Les Folatieres Premier Cru, Burgundy

For generations, the Chavy family has been synonymous with the great white wines of Puligny-Montrachet. Jean-Louis Chavy continues this proud tradition, crafting site expressive Chardonnay that captures the precision and finesse of Burgundy's most celebrated vineyards. Les Folatières is one of Puligny-Montrachet's finest Premier Cru climats, renowned for producing wines of extraordinary elegance, minerality and longevity from its prized limestone slopes.

The 2024 vintage delivered beautifully balanced fruit, with ideal conditions preserving freshness while allowing exceptional flavour concentration. The limestone rich soils of Les Folatières impart remarkable tension and mineral precision, while careful barrel maturation enhances texture without overshadowing the vineyard's distinctive character.

Pale gold with shimmering green highlights, the bouquet reveals aromas of lemon zest, white peach and ripe pear layered with white flowers, toasted hazelnut and delicate flinty notes. As the wine unfolds, hints of wet stone and citrus blossom add further complexity. The palate is beautifully poised, combining vibrant citrus and orchard fruit with silky texture, lively acidity and a finely etched chalky backbone. Long, seamless and effortlessly elegant, the finish lingers with saline freshness, subtle oak and remarkable persistence.

An exceptional partner for lobster with beurre blanc, seared scallops, turbot, roast chicken with morels or aged Comté. Already captivating in its youth, this outstanding Premier Cru will continue to reward patient cellaring for many years.
