Jean-Michel Gaunoux Puligny 1er Cru Les Folatieres 2023

Jean-Michel Gaunoux Puligny 1er Cru Les Folatières 2023 comes from one of Puligny-Montrachet’s most esteemed premier cru sites, offering the kind of precision and quiet depth that Burgundy lovers look for. Perched high on the slope above Le Clavoillon and Les Pucelles, Les Folatières is known for wines with tension, mineral drive, and a refined expression of Chardonnay.

Makuprofiili
In the glass, this 2023 shows a bright, focused profile with a pale, luminous appearance that hints at its freshness and energy. The nose opens with white flowers, lemon zest, crushed stone, and a subtle buttery nuance, adding a touch of richness without losing its poise. On the palate, the wine is linear and vibrant, with crystal-clear fruit that moves from lime and green pear toward discreet peach and almond notes. The chalky mineral core gives the wine its backbone, carrying the finish into a long, saline, almost weightless close. This is a Puligny with both finesse and quiet concentration, and it should develop beautifully over the next several years, gaining more depth and complexity with bottle age.

Viininvalmistus
Les Folatières sits high on the Puligny-Montrachet hillside, where the cooler exposure and chalk-rich soils help shape a wine with tension, finesse, and pronounced minerality. The grapes are grown without artificial aids and harvested by hand in small crates to preserve quality and freshness. Vinification is carried out with minimal intervention: slow pressing, spontaneous fermentation in oak barrels with around 30% new oak, followed by 12–14 months of aging on the lees without bâtonnage, allowing the terroir to remain at the forefront.

Ruoka & tarjoilu
This wine pairs beautifully with refined dishes such as grilled turbot, lobster, roast chicken with herbs, veal in a light cream sauce, or mushroom risotto. It also works well with aged hard cheeses and delicate seafood preparations. Serve at 10–12°C, and decanting is generally not necessary, though a short aeration can be helpful if opened young.
