2017 Domaine Michel Caillot, Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru "Les Folatieres," Burgundy - 750ML

From the historic cellars of Domaine Michel Caillot in Meursault, this premier cru bottling comes from the celebrated vineyard Les Folatières within the prestigious Puligny-Montrachet. One of the appellation’s most highly regarded Premier Cru sites, Les Folatières is known for producing wines that combine Puligny’s hallmark minerality with a graceful aromatic lift. The balanced 2017 vintage allowed Chardonnay to ripen cleanly while preserving the tension and precision that define the village’s finest white Burgundies.

Blend: 100% Chardonnay

Tasting Notes:
Expressive aromas of white peach, lemon zest, and green apple are layered with acacia blossom, crushed limestone, and subtle toasted almond. The palate is vibrant and finely detailed, revealing citrus oil, orchard fruit, and delicate saline minerality that builds through the mid-palate and carries into a long, refined finish.

Structure:
Elegant and precise; vibrant acidity with layered minerality and refined concentration.

Drink Window:
2023–2035+

Decanting:
In its youth, a brief decant of 20–30 minutes helps the wine open aromatically and soften its youthful tension. With additional bottle age, gentle aeration in the glass will allow its layered mineral character to unfold.

Puligny-Montrachet’s premier cru vineyards remain among the most sought-after sources for age-worthy white Burgundy, and Les Folatières consistently delivers both pedigree and finesse. Domaine Michel Caillot’s 2017 expression captures the vineyard’s signature balance of energy, minerality, and quiet depth—an elegant bottle for collectors and for the table alike.
