Review:

"The 2019 Meursault Genevrières 1er Cru has a refined bouquet of honeysuckle, buttercup and light toasty aromas that blossom in the glass; the 20% new oak is neatly integrated. The palate is well balanced with a slightly honeyed entry. Traces of wild honey and stem ginger furnish the persistent finish. A rich and generous Meursault, classy and decidedly tasty. - Neal Martin"

Chavy-Chouet Puligny-Montrachet Permier Cru Les Folatieres is made from 100 percent Chardonnay.

Les Folatières is located in the middle of a steep slope with poor soil where the bedrock can be seen peeking through.
The 50 year old vines benefit from the poor soil and good sun exposure. Les Folatières produces a rich, opulent and lively wine. It is charming when young with notes of yellow fruits and toasted bread, and over time becomes more airy and floral with great intensity.

Ageing in oak barrels for 12 months (20 % new).100% Chardonnay of 50 years of age.
The vineyard measures 0.3 hectare with a plenting density of 10,000 vines per hectare.

Review:

"The 2019 Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatières 1er Cru has a strict, focused bouquet of crushed rock, touches of orange blossom and a light licorice aroma developing in the glass. This shows more complexity than the other Pulignys from the domaine. The palate is well balanced with a slightly reduced entry. Good weight and density, although it slams the door shut on the finish. Actually a little Meursault-like on the nutty aftertaste. - Neal Martin"
