Pierre Girardin - Puligny-Montrachet "Folatières" 2022
The Folatieres is a great representation of Puligny-Montrachet with dense fruit.
Pierre-Vincent Girardin is a 13th generation Burgundian winemaker who grew up among the vines in his father’s Domaine.. Starting his own label with the family holdings of Les Folatières in Puligny-Montrachet at the age of 21, he has become a formidable force among young winemakers in Burgundy. Expanding beyond the 4.5 hectares, his family contacts brought him access to top growers in Puligny Folatières, Volnay Clos des Chênes, Pommard Epenots, Corton-Charlemagne, as well as Grand Cru Montrachet.
A domaine holding of 0.29ha in the heart of the “Ez Folatières”. Same altitude and topography as Les Caillerets and Le Montrachet on clay-limestone soils with East exposure. Vinified as whole cluster, 12 months in 456l oak barrels (50% new), 7 months in steel tank. Aromas of wet stones and citrus flavours. Chiselled mouth and long aftertaste. Drink now or age for 10 to 20 years.
