The Puligny-Montrachet Clos des Folatières 1er Cru 2016 is a refined and beautifully articulated Chardonnay from a classic, balanced vintage. Aromas of ripe pear, white peach, lemon zest, and acacia blossom unfold alongside hints of hazelnut and crushed limestone. On the palate, the wine is supple yet precise, with vibrant acidity carrying a finely textured mid-palate. Flavors of citrus oil, orchard fruit, and subtle mineral tones develop with poise and restraint. A discreet creaminess adds depth without blurring the wine’s linear profile. The finish is long, elegant, and quietly persistent—an expressive, age-worthy Folatières that captures both vintage harmony and Pernot’s signature finesse.

Domaine Paul Pernot is a sixth-generation family estate based in Puligny-Montrachet, revered for its classical, understated interpretation of Chardonnay. The domaine farms its vineyards with meticulous attention to balance, old vines, and restrained yields, prioritizing soil expression over volume. In the cellar, Pernot employs gentle pressing, cool fermentations, and very measured oak, allowing purity and minerality to lead. The house style is defined by tension, finesse, and longevity rather than overt richness. Clos des Folatières, a prized enclosed parcel within one of Puligny’s most celebrated Premier Crus, is among the estate’s most distinctive holdings. Here, Pernot’s discipline and sensitivity translate site character with remarkable clarity.
