Lemon Zest, Crushed Flint, White Blossom, and Folatières Grandeur

The 2022 David Moret Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru "Les Folatières" is a commanding, tensile Chardonnay from one of Puligny's most revered Premier Crus bordering the Grand Crus. It displays incisive aromas of lemon zest, crisp white peach, gunflint, white flowers, and light toast. Medium-to-full-bodied and textural, it pairs concentrated orchard fruit with electric limestone acidity, concluding on a persistent, savory, and saline mineral finish.

Critical Recognition

James Suckling 94 pts
  • 94 Points - James Suckling: A flinty and incisive nose of minerals, toast and lemon zest. Lightly saline and textured, with a medium body and a long, tasty finish. Drink or hold.

Highlights

  • 100% Chardonnay sourced from "Les Folatières," widely acclaimed as one of Puligny-Montrachet's greatest Premier Crus, situated directly along the mid-slope contour between Chevalier-Montrachet and Le Cailleret.
  • Planted on steep, stony limestone-clay soils with exceptional exposure, imparting remarkable mineral intensity, piercing tension, and soaring aromatics.
  • Crafted by David Moret, the renowned Beaune-based artisan micro-négociant celebrated for his meticulous parcel selection and masterly elevage of Côte de Beaune whites.
  • Aged for approximately 12 to 15 months in French oak barrels (around 30–35% new oak) followed by stainless steel settling to harmonize oak framing with pure limestone freshness.
  • From the warm, concentrated, yet harmonious 2022 Burgundy harvest; delivers captivating mineral cut today alongside the architecture to cellar gracefully through 2036+.

Tasting Notes

Pale, luminous gold with crystalline greenish reflections, it reveals an incisive, flinty bouquet of lemon zest, fresh white peach, and green orchard apple, interwoven with acacia blossoms, wet chalk, crushed stone, and subtle toasted hazelnut. The palate is medium-to-full-bodied, tensile, and finely textured, carrying concentrated orchard fruit across an electric spine of limestone acidity, concluding on a persistent, mouth-watering, and distinctly saline finish.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve cellar-cool at 11–13°C in fine white Burgundy stemware.
  • Decanting: Best enjoyed with 25 to 35 minutes of gentle aeration in the glass to allow its tight mineral core, citrus zest, and floral perfume to fully expand. Optimal drinking window now through 2036+.
