The brothers work a low-yielding, 40-year-old parcel of vines in this highly regarded terroir, right next to those of Leflaive and just below the Truffière vineyard. The name Folatières is said to derive from folles-terres (crazy earth), perhaps due to the violent erosion that can occur on these slopes during heavy rain. The vineyard is literally a stone’s throw away from the Pucelles and Clavoillon 1ers Crus (bordering the latter). It also lies at the same altitude as Chevalier-Montrachet. So, it’s a very serious terroir. Bachelet-Monnot’s parcel—at around half a hectare—lies in the lower, eastern pocket of the vineyard, where the soil is very rocky. This parcel always produces tiny bunches of fruit with little juice, and Marc Bachelet notes that although the vines are “only” 40-something years old, the plants behave as if they are twice this age. The 2024 is a blinder, more open than the Referts, and more delicate. It’s very “Puligny”; all white flowers and lime pith, supremely elegant and very, very long.
