Domaine de Montille - Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru 'Les Folatieres' White 2023

Grape

100% Chardonnay

Tasting notes

The 2023 Domaine de Montille Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru 'Les Folatieres' is a vibrant, mineral-driven white Burgundy opening with aromas of white peach, chamomile, and flint. The medium-to-full-bodied palate offers generous ripe orchard fruit balanced by lively acidity, subtle toasted almond, and a long, salty finish.

Bright lemon and grapefruit notes lead, joined by white flowers, chamomile, and lemon verbena, with a distinct flinty, crushed rock, and wet-stone minerality underneath.

Core flavors of white peach, quince, and crisp orchard pear sit on a silky, caressing texture backed by a tight, focused line of bright acidity, with hints of subtle toast or almond from light oak aging (using under 25% new oak).

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.
