Dujac Domaine Description
Not long after purchasing vineyards in the late 1960s and releasing his first wines in the early 1970s Jacques Seysses became an international icon. Jacques respect for the terroir of the Côte d’Or is still on display in his viticultural practices and innovative winemaking methods. Dujac wines are more than just varietally correct – they are intimate travelogues of some of the most celebrated sites on earth. Sons Jeremy and Alec along with Jeremy’s wife, Diana, have been handed the reigns of this famous estate.
The Les Folatieres vineyard sits between 820 feet to 985 feet of elevation on clay & limestone. The vineyard is divided into four climats: Ez Folatieres, En la Richarde, Peux Bois and Au Chaniot. One suggestion is that the name is derived from folles-terres, crazy earth, created when hard driving rain erodes the soil. Another suggestion is that Folatières is where folletes, patches of misty fog or ghostly forms collect.
Wine Advocate: 90-92 Points
The Dujac harvest began with the 2023 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Folatières on September 1. Offering up aromas of white peach, hazelnuts, freshly baked bread and white flowers, it's medium to full-bodied, fleshy and satiny, with an elegantly layered core and a fine-boned, giving profile.

Vinous
The 2023 Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatières ler Cru comes from younger vines between five and ten years old, picked a few days before Les Combettes. The nose offers hints of yellow plum, egg white and almond that unfurl with aeration. The palate is well balanced and quite forward, with a slightly tangy opening. However, it misses some mineralité and nerve toward the finish. This is an early-drinking Puligny.
