A white wine from Burgundy`s esteemed Puligny-Montrachet, this 1999 vintage of Les Folatières is crafted from Chardonnay grapes exclusively sourced from one of the region`s notable premier cru vineyards. Produced by Domaine Leflaive, a pioneer in biodynamic viticulture, the wine reflects a warmth characteristic of its vintage, achieving 13.5% alcohol. The fruit underwent 12 months of maturation in 25% new French oak barrels, followed by a six-month period in stainless steel to refine the texture. This approach contributes to its complexity, revealing aromas of ripe peach and subtle butter alongside hints of smoky oak, resulting in a structured and persistent finish.
