Olivier Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet 1Er Cru Les FolatièRes Domaine 2022

Crafted in the iconic Côte de Beaune subregion of Burgundy, France, Olivier Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru "Les Folatières" Domaine 2022 is an exceptional Premier Cru white wine from one of Puligny's largest, most prestigious, and highest-elevation Premier Cru climates. Sourced from estate-owned (Récolte du Domaine) old vines perched high on the mid-slope above Chevalier-Montrachet, Les Folatières features shallow, stony limestone soils with rich clay veins and perfect south-southeast exposure. This unique combination delivers the ultimate Puligny signature: piercing mineral purity, floral elegance, and concentrated power. The outstanding 2022 vintage yielded pristine, hand-harvested Chardonnay that underwent gentle whole-cluster pressing, ambient yeast fermentation, and 18 months of careful aging in fine French oak barrels with gentle lees contact.

Food Pairing: Pan-seared sea bass with lemon-herb butter, butter-poached lobster, roasted Bresse chicken, wild mushroom risotto, seared sea scallops, and aged French cheeses like Comté or Époisses.
