Domaine Leflaive is a prestigious winery located in the Burgundy region of France, renowned for its exceptional white wines. The Puligny Montrachet Folatieres 1er Cru is crafted from 100% Chardonnay grapes, sourced from the premier cru vineyard of Folatieres in Puligny-Montrachet. This wine is known for its elegant expression of terroir, showcasing a complex bouquet of citrus fruits, white flowers, and a hint of minerality. The winemaking process involves careful fermentation in oak barrels, followed by aging on the lees to enhance its creamy texture and depth. The wine exhibits a balanced acidity and a long, refined finish, making it an excellent pairing with seafood dishes, creamy pastas, or poultry.

Professional Scores

Folatières produced a generous yield in 2022; the result is pleasant and approachable, with ripe apple fruit, floral notes and a touch of spice. It is supple and creamy, with a plump, easy-to-love texture. However, the finished wine lacks the expected concentration and depth. It should drink well young and improve with mid-term ageing, but the structure to age long term is not evident.
