The domaine's Folatieres parcel sits up-slope in the premier cru band on the same contour line as Chevalier-Montrachet, a little over an acre of forty-year-old vines on the steepest, thinnest, stoniest ground Puligny has. Soil that shallow over hard limestone gives a wine built vertically rather than horizontally: high-toned, floral, tense, with the salinity arriving before the fruit does. It is the mirror image of the domaine's Les Referts, which sits at the bottom of the same band on clay and comes out round. Marc and Alexandre Bachelet founded the estate in 2005 and press slowly, ferment with native yeasts in 350-liter barrels, and refuse batonnage entirely, a set of choices aimed squarely at keeping sites like this legible. The 2024 season was cold, wet and desperately short, and the whites that survived it are the most classically cut Burgundies in years. Cellar this five to ten.

"From a parcel in Ez Folatières near Truffières. Soft reduction still allows a suggestion of citrus rind to be seen. On the palate, there is excellent punch and volume to the delicious and seductively textured, even caressing, medium-bodied flavors that possess a subtle minerality on the moderately austere, balanced and impressively long bone-dry finish. This is nothing short of terrific and a wine that should also amply repay extended keeping. One to strongly consider."

"The 2024 Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatières 1er Cru is much more backward than the Les Referts at the moment. Crushed stone, a little more yellow fruit by comparison, a hint of orange blossom. It's alluringly standoffish! The palate is quite intense, focused and delineated. Not quite the amplitude or ambition of the Les Referts but it does fan out wonderfully on the finish, suggesting there is something there for those with the nous to leave it in the cellar for a few years." —Neal Martin

More about Bachelet-Monnot

Alex and Marc Bachelet started their domaine in 2005 from a portion of the family vineyards. By 2011 they had acquired 22 hectares of old to very old vines in Maranges, Santenay, Chassagne and Puligny-Montrachet. They farm with sustainable methods that they describe as ‘très lutte raisonnée’, which literally translates as "the very reasoned struggle." In the cellar they are extremely meticulous with their use of sulphur, preferring to "micro-dose" when and where necessary and never at bottling. They use 350 liter barrels to avoid any overt "flavor" of oak spice and emphasize the super precise, mineral flavors and taught structure. Marc explains that the small doses of sulphur allowed him to bottle the wine with very little free SO2 and still feel confident they are well protected from the elements. The results are stunning: clean, pure, transparent and bursting with mineral energy. There is very little to no reduction on the wines, yet they seem to be built to last for many years.

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Turbot or sole in butter, langoustines, scallop crudo, a shellfish platter, or chicken with morels. Serve it cool but not cold so the aromatics open.

Tasting Profile

Aromas of white flowers, lemon oil, green apple and struck flint. Taut and linear on the palate, more about tension and salt than fruit weight, with piercing acidity. Long, chalky, mineral finish. Tightly coiled now and worth waiting on.
