Domaine Alain Chavy Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Folatieres
Les Folatieres is the biggest Premier Cru vineyard in Puligny. It is also Alain Chavy's favourite. It has been well established as one of the top vineyards in the region, and consistently produces world-class wines. Buttery, rich and everything you should expect from Puligny-Montrachet, this full-bodied wine will age for the next 10 plus years, but can also be enjoyed now thanks to its generous fruit character and incredible texture.
