Joseph Drouhin Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru Folatieres

This Premier Cru white Burgundy is a Chardonnay from the renowned Folatieres climat in Puligny Montrachet, Cote de Beaune. The site is celebrated for producing wines that combine mineral precision, aromatic complexity, and impressive longevity. Warm conditions were moderated by freshness, allowing ripe citrus and stone fruit to develop alongside floral lift. Fruit for this wine is sourced through trusted grower partnerships, selected under strict quality specifications.

Grapes were harvested by hand to preserve purity and aromatic potential. Slow pneumatic pressing ensured clarity, with free run juice separated for finesse. Fermentation and ageing took place in French oak barrels, with a measured proportion of new wood. Sixteen to eighteen months of ageing built texture while respecting site expression.
