Lemon Zest, White Peach, Gunflint, and Folatières Grandeur

The 2023 David Moret Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru "Les Folatières" is a dazzling, chiseled Chardonnay from one of Puligny’s most celebrated Premier Crus. It reveals refined aromas of lemon zest, fresh white peach, acacia blossoms, gunflint, and toasted hazelnuts. Medium-to-full-bodied and intensely focused, it balances concentrated orchard fruit against a surging spine of electric limestone acidity, finishing remarkably long, vibrant, and saline.

Highlights

  • 100% Chardonnay sourced from "Les Folatières," universally acclaimed as one of Puligny-Montrachet's greatest Premier Crus, sharing mid-slope pedigree with Chevalier-Montrachet.
  • Planted on steep, stony limestone-clay soils with exceptional drainage, delivering Folatières’ trademark gunflint minerality, soaring aromatics, and piercing structural tension.
  • Crafted by David Moret, the renowned Beaune-based boutique micro-négociant celebrated for his meticulous parcel selection and masterly elevage of Côte de Beaune whites.
  • Aged for approximately 12 to 15 months in select French oak barrels (around 30–35% new oak) followed by stainless steel settling to harmonize oak frame with pure primary fruit vitality.
  • From the balanced, expressive 2023 Burgundy harvest; delivers breathtaking mineral clarity today alongside the concentration and structure to develop through 2036+.

Tasting Notes

Pale, shimmering gold with crystalline greenish reflections, it reveals a laser-focused bouquet of lemon zest, fresh white peach, and green orchard apple, interwoven with white acacia blossoms, gunflint, wet chalk, and subtle nuances of toasted hazelnut. The palate is medium-to-full-bodied, linear, and tensile, balancing dense fruit extract 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 20 to 30 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+.
