Description

The Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Folatières, produced by the renowned winery Clos du Moulin Aux Moines, is a white wine of extraordinary elegance and refinement. Originating from Burgundy, one of the most prestigious wine regions in France, this wine is made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes, selected from vineyards located in the specific sous-zone of Les Folatières, recognized for its rich and well-drained soils that impart a particular minerality to the wine.

On the palate, it stands out for its balanced structure and lively acidity, which combine with a creamy texture and a persistent, aromatic finish.

Ideal for accompanying refined dishes of fish, shellfish, or poultry in creamy sauce, this wine is also an excellent companion for a special evening or as a prestigious gift for wine aficionados. With its distinctive character and its ability to evolve beautifully over time, the Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Folatières is a high-level specimen that enriches any wine collection.

Winery history

The site is an ancient wine estate mentioned as early as the Middle Ages: the Clos del Moulin aux Moines is associated with the monks of the Abbey of Cluny and later with the Abbey of Cîteaux. Over the centuries the property changed hands several times; the Andrieu family is recorded as the controlling owner since their acquisition in 2008, during which the estate was renovated and relaunched.

Production philosophy

The estate favors a low-intervention approach to showcase the character of the terroir: organic and biodynamic cultivation applied to the entire vineyard, manual harvesting, limited use of winemaking technologies, and some low-sulfite winemaking experiments for the alternative cuvées.

Terroir and vineyards

Situated in the Côte de Beaune, between the communes of Auxey-Duresses and Meursault. The emblematic monopole is a clos protected by a stone wall with red clay and limestone soils, situated in a low-lying position watered by a local stream.
