2024 Carillon François Les Folatières Puligny-Montrachet 1er cru Blanc 750ml

2024 François Carillon Les Folatières: High-Slope Puligny Cut

The 2024 François Carillon Les Folatières Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru Blanc 750ml is an extraordinary white Burgundy of scintillating mineral energy. In particular, Les Folatières perches on the mid-to-upper slope on shallow, rocky limestone soils directly adjacent to Chevalier-Montrachet. In addition, the 2024 vintage highlights dazzling citrus freshness, crystalline fruit purity, and laser-sharp mineral tension.

Tasting Notes for 2024 François Carillon Les Folatières

The wine opens with explosive aromas of lemon oil, green pear, white flowers, and crushed flint. Furthermore, delicate hints of pastry dough, lime zest, and wet river stones reveal themselves with aeration. On the palate, a racy, crystalline acidity drives straight through a dense, structured mid-palate. Consequently, the finish lingers with mouthwatering salinity, limestone grip, and breathtaking persistence.
