Domaine Francois Carillon Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru "Les Folatieres" 2020, 750ml

Folatieres is planted in a steep slope with clay, limestone, and pebbles soils, and 49-year-old vines, offering a balanced wine that is less ostentatious than its neighbors. The grapes are whole cluster pressed, then fermented and aged in oak barrels for 18 months, with 20% new oak and occasional lees stirring.

Tasting Note:

The aromas of mineral reduction, apricot and white peach. Once again there is fine mid-palate density and surprisingly good power to the larger-scaled and stony middle weight plus flavors that deliver very fine depth.
