Domaine Jean-Louis Chavy Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Folatières 2024 is an elegant white Burgundy from one of Puligny-Montrachet’s most highly regarded Premier Cru vineyards. The wine is produced by a historic family estate established in 1820, with more than six generations of experience working the terroirs of Puligny-Montrachet. Domaine Jean-Louis Chavy currently encompasses approximately seven hectares and follows a precise approach intended to reveal the individual character of each vineyard. Les Folatières is produced entirely from Chardonnay vines with an average age of approximately 51 years, contributing concentration, complexity and mineral definition. The wine is matured for eleven months in oak barrels before spending a further seven months in stainless-steel tanks. Approximately 25–30% new oak is used, providing subtle structure and spice while allowing the vineyard’s fruit and freshness to remain clearly expressed.
The domaine describes Les Folatières as a wonderfully elegant Premier Cru that captures the characteristic refinement of Puligny-Montrachet. Fresh and ripe fruit aromas lead into a generous yet precisely shaped palate, supported by the natural tension associated with this celebrated site. In the 2024 vintage, the wine presents a comparatively slim and finely drawn profile rather than overt richness or weight. A lively current of freshness and minerality carries the fruit across the palate and provides definition through the finish. Its combination of mature-vine concentration, restrained oak and extended élevage creates a wine with both immediate aromatic appeal and considerable ageing potential. The producer recommends cellaring for approximately nine to ten years and suggests serving the wine as an aperitif or alongside white meat and fish.
