Tasting notes
This vibrant and refined expression of Les Folatières opens with elegant aromas of citrus, white flowers, and fresh pastry, with nuanced hints of melon, apricot, honey, and subtle oak. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a silky, lively texture, revealing layers of grapefruit, quince, and starfruit supported by a precise mineral backbone and crisp acidity. The long, complex finish highlights its finesse and structure. Praised for its balance and aging potential, this wine beautifully captures the essence of its terroir with both energy and depth.

More About The Winery
The De Montille family has been a cornerstone of Burgundy for centuries, but the domaine’s reputation was firmly established in 1947, when Hubert de Montille inherited vineyards in Volnay. Hubert’s wines became legendary for their austere, structured style, built for long ageing.
Since the 1990s, Etienne de Montille has led the estate into a new era. Expanding into Pommard, Puligny-Montrachet, and beyond, he also integrated the former Château de Puligny-Montrachet holdings, creating one of the most impressive portfolios in the Côte d’Or.
Pioneering organic farming since 1995 and biodynamic practices since 2005, Domaine de Montille is now admired for wines that are both authentic and generous. The reds are vinified with whole clusters for aromatic depth and finesse, while the whites display precision, minerality, and purity.
Today, Domaine de Montille stands as one of Burgundy’s great names, producing world-class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay that perfectly express their terroirs and continue to captivate collectors worldwide.
