Domaine Dupont-Fahn was created in 1975. At that time, Raymond Dupont-Fahn's grandfather believed that his plot, straddling Les Perrières of Meursault and Sous le dos d'Anes, was too rocky and lacked soil. The INAO agreed for 20cm of topsoil to be deposited on the terroir. A few years later, following a complaint from neighbouring producers, the plot was decommissioned for this very reason. Nearly forty years later, the vines are deeply and perfectly rooted in their original terroir and produce superb wines that give some premier crus a run for their money although the plot has never been reclassified. This story, indubitably unique in Burgundy, attracts the curious and the buyers, and it is now very difficult to obtain these wines.

Les Folatières is a Premier Cru climat set on the relatively steep slopes of Puligny, located just above the Grands Crus. Its pebbly marl-limestone soils, often shallow in some parcels, ensure excellent drainage and concentrate aromatic components, giving rise to wines offering generous substance, great tension and finesse. The south to south-east exposure supports even, balanced ripening. Once brought into the winery, the grapes undergo a typically Burgundian, low-intervention vinification. The wine is then aged on its lees for around twelve months before bottling.
In the glass, it shows a pale golden hue. The nose opens with aromas of white flowers, apple, pear, butter, vanilla and almond. On the palate, a clean, precise attack reveals a superb balance of richness and liveliness, leading into a fruit-driven and beautifully persistent finish.
