Domaine Chavy-Chouet
Les Folatières Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay
Stunning wine. Sickness. Give Chavy a few years and he will blow you away. Refined and noble aromas of hazelnut and iodine. Flowers galore. So mineral. Earthy, funky, sponti. Palate is like it is chiseled from rock. So pure and compact with laser like precision and purity. My god the purity. It’s so clean it’s like a white room. Brilliant!

Jul 21st, 2016Love AM tasting. Stunning nose of iodine, hazelnut, minerals, earthy funk, some floral perfume, touch of oak and so much nuance and complexity which is what Folatieres is to me aromatically. Rich and elegant with ripping acidity and lovely mineral/iodine tones and impressive concentration, but is so graceful and elegant. Terrific lithe yet serious structure and dazzlingly pure. A baby now but this is drinkable and will age. So impressive.

Jan 16th, 2016A bit overwhelming floral and French oak. Rich and fragrant, honey and syrup.

Oct 4th, 2020Still showing some oak on the nose. Great freshness on the palate. Wow. Great fruit. Delicious. Needs a year or two. Bought from Fass selections.
