White Peach, Hawthorn, Crushed Flint, and Premier Cru Folatières Grandeur

The 2024 Domaine Raymond Dupont-Fahn Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru "Les Folatières" is a benchmark expression of one of Burgundy's most revered Premier Cru slopes. It opens with exquisite aromas of white peach, citrus blossom, crisp green orchard fruit, and wet chalk. Medium-bodied, tensile, and seamless, it pairs concentrated stone fruit with chiseled limestone acidity and understated oak framing, finishing long, aristocratic, and intensely saline.

Highlights

  • 100% Chardonnay harvested from "Les Folatières," universally recognized as one of the very finest Premier Cru terroirs in Puligny-Montrachet, positioned on the mid-to-upper slope adjacent to Chevalier-Montrachet.
  • Grown on stony, shallow clay-limestone soils rich in fragmented Jurassic scree, imparting profound mineral energy, aristocratic floral complexity, and saline persistence.
  • Crafted by Raymond Dupont-Fahn using his trademark minimalist philosophy: early harvesting to safeguard vibrant natural acidity and low-intervention vinification without excessive bâtonnage.
  • Aged for approximately 12 to 14 months in select French oak barrels with restrained new wood (~20–25%), supporting texture while ensuring total terroir transparency.
  • From the classically tension-driven, energetic 2024 Burgundy vintage; shows exceptional aromatic precision today along with the structure to cellar comfortably through 2038+.

Tasting Notes

Bright, pale straw with brilliant silvery-green reflections, it opens with an aristocratic bouquet of white peach, lemon blossom, and crisp Anjou pear, interwoven with crushed limestone, wet flint, and a faint hint of toasted hazelnut. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, linear, and taut, pairing concentrated orchard fruit with vibrant limestone acidity and an indelible chalky mineral core, finishing with extraordinary length, aristocratic finesse, and mouth-watering salinity.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve cellar-cool at 11–13°C in generous white Burgundy stemware.
  • Decanting: Best enjoyed with 20 to 30 minutes of aeration in the glass to allow its tight floral aromatics and chalky mineral spine to fully expand; pairs brilliantly with butter-poached lobster, pan-roasted turbot, seared sea scallops, or veal sweetbreads. Optimal drinking window now through 2038+.
