PULIGNY - MONTRACHET "Les Fôlatières" Premier Cru 2004

 Domaine Charles ALLEXANT - a Family Owned Vinyard

...

Puligny-Montrachet is the fulcrum of the Côtes d’Or white wines, situated between Meursault to the North and Chassagne to the South. Despite their apparently modest extent they produce the greatest
Grand Cru white wines in Burgundy and arguably the best Chardonnay in the world. 

      The Allexant Family owns 14 Growths in the Côte d’Or!

  “Les Fôlatières ” is located on the edge of the Bathonian limestone fault.  It is considered by many as the best Puligny, yielding only to the Grand Cru Montrachet and Bâtard themselves. They are similar to the other Puligny in their youth, but then go on gaining a power and structure that make their aroma outstanding!

Tasting Notes:  Delicacy and Grace! Light in color and well presented with traces of hazelnut on the nose, this 04 vintage is freshness personified, with spring blossom and apple and pear fruitiness. A fine Premier Cru, more gentle than pungent.
