Domaine Chavy-Chouet Les Folatieres, Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru 2024

The 2024 Domaine Chavy-Chouet Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru Les Folatieres serves as a definitive expression of high-altitude terroir and precise winemaking from Romaric Chavy. Sourced from fifty-year-old vines rooted in the thin and stony soils of the mid-slope, this wine delivers a remarkable balance of power and crystalline purity. The bouquet opens with sophisticated layers of white orchard fruit, honeysuckle, and toasted almonds, underscored by a persistent mineral tension that speaks to its limestone origins. On the palate, the wine is opulent yet energized by a vibrant acidity that carries flavors of ripe nectarine, lemon zest, and a subtle salinity through a long and focused finish. This vintage showcases an impressive structural integrity that will allow it to evolve beautifully over the next decade. It remains an essential choice for collectors seeking a Chardonnay that offers both immediate sensory pleasure and significant aging potential.
