Terroir, appellation and Burgundian identity

A Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru is not reduced to a mere geographic origin. It carries the Burgundian notion of climat, that subtle reading of a precise site, its viticultural history and its capacity to produce distinctive wines. « Les Folatières » is thus presented under the appellation Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru AOC, a designation that immediately places the cuvée within the hierarchy of Burgundy's great terroirs. The vintage 2022 completes this identity with a date that invites consideration of the wine within its own trajectory. As a historic Burgundian estate, Louis Jadot offers here a bottle intended for those who appreciate characterful appellations and the precision of a clearly named provenance. Without resorting to artifices, this reference asserts a composed form of distinction, a white wine whose name, place and Premier Cru rank are enough to attract attention. It is a particularly fitting choice when one wishes to favour the depth of a great terroir rather than simply seek a casual white wine.

Tasting notes

• Approach: take the time to observe the wine and let its expression unfold gradually in the glass.
• Nose: a careful tasting reveals the nuances specific to the 2022 vintage, the Les Folatières climat and the identity of Puligny-Montrachet.
• Palate: serve it in a glass suited to great whites to fully appreciate its presence, texture and persistence as it evolves.

Serving temperature and advice

To fully enjoy this Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru, favour a measured service, without excessive chill, so as not to close down its expression. An early opening and decanting can be considered with discretion, depending on storage conditions and the chosen moment for tasting. Serve this bottle in sufficiently roomy glasses to allow the wine to open gracefully. Its place is at the table, with attentive guests, rather than at the centre of a rushed aperitif. If you wish to cellar it, ensure stable conditions, protected from light and temperature fluctuations. The evolution of a Burgundy wine is always a singular adventure, closely linked to its storage.

Food pairings

• Fish: a noble fish simply roasted or lightly finished with a creamy sauce.
• Shellfish: lobster, langoustine or scallops prepared with great restraint.
• Poultry: farmhouse chicken with morels or a dish with creamy notes and reduced jus.
• Cheeses: pressed cheeses with delicate affinage, served without overwhelming strength.
• Vegetable-based cuisine: mushroom risotto, roasted vegetables or a plate centred on celery, hazelnut and fresh herbs.
