Pale in colour, with a certain steeliness. Notably more concentration on the palate than the nose suggests, with a fine backbone. Correctly ripe fruit, more pears than apples, a very clean and clear expression of Folatières. Just two barrels made, one new and one from the previous year.

About this Wine
One of those wines where power somehow becomes weightless. The nose is dense and concentrated, packed with pear, citrus and mineral depth, yet the palate is astonishingly light, airy and elegant. Impeccably balanced, beautifully precise and utterly ethereal. Just two barrels were made in 2024, that’s 600 bottles for the whole world.
Les Folatières sits on the same contour of land as Le Montrachet Grand Cru and one sip of this wine tells you why it’s regarded as one of Puligny’s greatest Premier Cru’s.

Tasting Notes
Only 2 barrels made. Ethereal Puligny from 75-year-old vines: dense, expressive and concentrated on the nose, yet almost weightless.
There is serious concentration here, but almost none of the weight you expect to accompany it.
The nose is dense and expressive, with ripe pear, citrus and layers of mineral depth immediately suggesting a wine of real substance. Then the palate completely changes the impression. It feels light, airy and almost ethereal, with the fruit carried effortlessly across the mouth rather than sitting heavily upon it.
That contrast is extraordinary. There is plenty of concentration beneath the surface, but freshness, fine acidity and a steely mineral backbone give the wine remarkable poise. Everything feels impeccably proportioned, right through to the long, precise finish.
Even 50% new oak disappears remarkably well into the wine, bringing structure and texture without disturbing its elegance.
Jasper Morris found the same concentration and fine backbone, highlighting the ripe pear fruit and exceptionally clean expression of Folatières, and scored it 92–94 points.
Dense yet weightless. Powerful yet incredibly elegant. A beautiful expression of one of Puligny’s great Premier Cru terroirs.

Discover Their Story
A historic domaine in the heart of Puligny-Montrachet, crafting wines from some of the most legendary vineyards on earth.
The Chavy name rings out across Burgundy, synonymous with classically brilliant white wines. Philippe took the reins in 1990, inheriting Puligny parcels from his father (planted in the 1950s) and Meursault from his mother (going all the way back to 1932), with one of Saint-Aubin’s most iconic plots thrown into the mix.

A few words from people who’ve opened our bottles
FAQs
Clear details, so you can buy with confidence
Is this wine ready to drink now?
Yes. This is ready to drink now, but a little patience could make it even more rewarding. Open one soon, then tuck another away if you want to watch it develop.
Should I buy one bottle or a few?
One to try, three if you want to follow it over time, six if you already know the producer or style. Burgundy moves quickly, and small parcels rarely hang around for long.
What if I’m not sure this is my style?
Use our live chat, or pop us an email. We specialise in Burgundy and are always happy to help. Our tasting notes are based on wines tasted by our founders and updated regularly, so you can buy with proper confidence.
How quickly will it arrive?
Fast. We ship every wine on a next-working-day service and dispatch Monday to Friday. At checkout, you can even choose a delivery day that suits you.
How is it packed?
Each bottle is wrapped in tissue before being carefully placed into our specially imported Italian boxes, tested to rigorous standards. We have literally dropped them from the first storey of our house. All our packaging is paper-based and recyclable.
Can I send it as a gift?
Absolutely. As standard, our wines arrive wrapped in bespoke tissue paper. At checkout, you can also add gift bags, gift boxes and notes.
