The 2022 Jean-Louis Chavy, Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Folatieres was a Merchant's Pick
1er Cru Puligny Montrachet Panache!
October 30, 2025
Chavy's Puligny Montrachet is top-notch. The Chavy Puligny 1er Cru Les Folatieres reveals citrus blossom, stone fruit, and fresh apple; the aromatics precede a near-perfect palate.
Pure and fantastically integrated, with no one element pushing or pulling; rather, the flavors and textures effortlessly play off one another.
White peach, chalky minerality, blanched almond, Anjou pear, spice, and (barely) a hint of vanilla bean present on this endless finish. The 2022 vintage lends this particular Puligny to approachability now as well as fifteen years of enjoyment.
2022 was a gorgeous vintage. Jasper Morris calls the 2022 harvest “bountiful and beautiful,” and Wine Spectator notes the “balance and freshness” of the wines from this great vintage.
Extremely limited. We have the lion's share of what was imported, which is not a lot.
Enjoy!
