Winery Info/Brand
Distinguished white Burgundy from one of Burgundy’s most respected houses, crafted in the renowned Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru climat “Les Folatières” on the Côte de Beaune in France. Under the Domaine des Héritiers Louis Jadot banner, the estate applies meticulous viticulture—sustainable farming, controlled yields, and hand harvesting—paired with traditional Burgundian winemaking, including fermentation and aging in French oak (with a moderate proportion of new barrels) to build complexity while preserving purity of fruit and site expression. The Les Folatières vineyard, positioned mid-slope on limestone-rich soils with clay, yields Chardonnay of exceptional finesse, tension and minerality, capturing the essence of this iconic terroir. The 2022 vintage shows vibrant citrus and white floral aromas with hints of hazelnut and subtle oak spice, leading to a refined, layered palate with vibrant acidity and a long mineral-driven finish. Wine critics have lauded this release, noting its balance of richness with elegance and excellent cellaring potential, making it a benchmark Premier Cru in the Jadot portfolio.
