Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru les Folatières White 2022,

Fréderic Cossard

An exceptional, distinguished and timeless Chardonnay

Frédéric Cossard's Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Folatières 2022 embodies all the nobility and elegance of Burgundy. Made from old vines deeply rooted in the clay-limestone soils of the prestigious Folatières plot, this white wine reveals a pure and precise expression of Chardonnay. The direct-press vinification and careful one-year aging in barrels bring remarkable complexity and finesse.

A tasting full of power and refinement

From the first nose, this 1er Cru seduces with its intense and complex bouquet. Aromas of fresh citrus, lemon zest, and green apple are accompanied by mineral notes reminiscent of gunflint. On the palate, the attack is lively and precise, revealing a powerful structure and a silky texture. The minerality typical of limestone terroirs provides superb tension, balanced by an aromatic richness that stretches into a long and elegant finish, marked by a subtle salinity.

A gastronomic wine with great ageing potential

This Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatières is ideal with refined dishes. It will enhance noble shellfish such as lobster or crayfish, fish in sauce, or even roast poultry. Its aromatic complexity also pairs perfectly with mature cheeses such as an old comté or an ash goat cheese.

Served between 10 and 12°C after decanting, this wine fully reveals its potential. With an excellent aging potential of 5 to 10 years, it will be able to evolve in the bottle, developing even more complex tertiary aromas.
