Frederic Cossard Domaine de Chassorney Les Folatieres Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru 2020
Frederic Cossard's Domaine de Chassorney Les Folatieres Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru 2020 is a wine steeped in Burgundian history and terroir. The name "Folatieres" is subject to debate, with some suggesting it originates from "Folles Terres," evoking landslides caused by heavy rains, while others believe it refers to "follets" or "foulots," misty figures rising from damp areas. Regardless, Les Folatières stands as one of Puligny-Montrachet's greatest premier crus and undeniably one of the finest.
Sourced from grapes purchased from very old vines tended by growers adhering to strict guidelines, this Puligny-Montrachet is vinified in a highly natural manner, with indigenous yeast and no added sulfur. Delightfully charming and refined, it offers initial aromas of green apple and citrus, evolving with aeration to reveal buttery notes. The palate is round, with beautiful texture and subtle oak influence. A must-try natural Burgundy.
