2024 Domaine Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Folatieres 6-Pack

This is the largest 1er Cru of Puligny. Looking closely at a map of the 1er Cru, you’ll notice patches of vineyards declassified to the village level. During soil work at the end of the 19th century, the nature of the soil was artificially changed with the addition of foreign soil types. The name has two potential origins: either the “folles terres” (crazy land) because of the numerous landslides that happened in the past after heavy rain, or the “feu follet” (Will-o’-the-wisp), an atmospheric phenomenon which creates a “ghost light” that appears above a humid area at night.
