FEATURES
The 2024 vintage for Raymond Dupont-Fahn's Puligny Montrachet Les Folatières 1er Cru is exceptionally young, likely just released or still undergoing élevage, reflecting the promising conditions of the Burgundy growing season. Domaine Dupont-Fahn, established in 1975, has a unique history, with its vineyard land in Meursault initially deemed too rocky, leading to a rare INAO approval for soil amendment. Despite an initial downgrading, the vines are now deeply rooted, producing high-quality wines. The Les Folatières vineyard itself is Puligny Montrachet's largest and steepest Premier Cru, known for its shallow topsoil that forces the Chardonnay roots to delve deep, absorbing rich minerals.
While specific 2024 tasting notes are not yet widely available due to its youth, previous vintages of this Puligny Montrachet Les Folatières typically showcase a complex profile. Expect notes of oak, vanilla, lemon, lime, and cream, alongside ripe lemons, orchard fruits, acacia, and white flowers. Hints of preserved plums, pineapples, and sweet tangerines can emerge, with an underlying minerality, flint, and honeyed earthiness. The wine often presents a creamy and velvety texture, with nuances of butter, quince, and yellow apples, culminating in a bold yet elegant structure.
🍴 This elegant white Burgundy pairs beautifully with rich fish like salmon or tuna, shellfish, and pasta dishes. It also complements mild and soft cheeses, cured meats, roast white meats, root vegetables, fresh seafood, and even fried foods.
🥂 This wine is perfectly suited for special occasions, fine dining experiences, or any event where a premium, age-worthy white Burgundy is desired to impress. Its "Big Power" and "Dressed to Impress" characteristics make it a standout choice.
