Domaine Alain Chavy Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru Les Folatieres 2020 [NET]

$11999

Alain Chavy is one of the small but serious names in Puligny, working a tight 17-acre domaine alongside his brother Jean-Louis (the family vines were split in 2003). His style is restrained and structured, the kind of white Burgundy that rewards a little patience. Les Folatieres sits high on the hillside above Clavoillons, the largest of Puligny's premier crus and one of its most distinctive, with meager soils that give wines real mineral grip. The 2020 is full-bodied but poised, with green apple, peach, and wet limestone, a fine bead of acidity, and a long aromatic finish. Built to evolve for a decade.

"The 2020 Puligny-Montrachet les Folatières 1er Cru has an expressive bouquet with green apple, wet limestone and light kiwi fruit scents. This is nicely focused and has more energy than the Pucelles. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, quite poised and harmonious towards the finish that needs more mineralité. Maybe I was seeking a little more verve and tension." —Neal Martin

"Cask sample. Top-quality premier cru Puligny. Concentration and power on the nose/palate. Savoury edge, plenty of citrus keeping the palate fresh. Should age very well. Stony finish with an intriguing zesty character." —ndy Howard MW
