Domaine Florence Cholet: Puligny’s Secret Star, Prices Still Low (Pre-arrival)
Craving a Burgundy that’s exceptional yet affordable? Domaine Florence Cholet is your find. Since Florence, a fourth-generation talent, took over in 2019, this family estate has redefined excellence with vibrant, elegant wines at steal-of-a-deal prices. Armed with a viticulture degree, oenology Master’s, and experience at Chapoutier in Rhone, Pibarnon in Bandol, Walla Walla in Washington State, plus analyzing virtually all Burgundy’s wines at an independent lab, Florence’s expertise crafts wines of Burgundian finesse and worldly sophistication.✨
With less than 2,000 cases produced annually from very old, low-yield vines in Puligny, these are rare gems. The estate’s sustainable practices – no insecticides or herbicides, hand-picked into small cases and use minimal new oak – ensure purity. Reds are light to medium-bodied, structured, with vibrant red berry and cherry notes that unfold beautifully with air. Whites outperform their classification: Bourgogne Blanc from Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet plots; Meursault, classic yet lively with acidity and tension; and Puligny Les Enseignères, nestled at the foot of Grand Cru Bâtard-Montrachet for unparalleled terroir.💓
Prices are a steal for these appellations—mix 6 bottles for an even better deal. Don’t miss this under-the-radar producer!
This new label debuted with the 2019 vintage, when Florence Cholet took the reins from what was formerly the Domaine Cholet-Pelletier, after having worked with her parents for a dozen years. It's a 7.5-hectare estate, with very old vines in Puligny, and today it's farmed entirely without insecticides or herbicides. Picking is into small cases, with whites seeing a long Vaslin pressing, 24 hours' settling, and long fermentations in barrel, with only some 20% new wood. Red grapes are chilled on reception and see a gentle three-week cuvaison followed by a year in barrel. These are rather characterful, textural wines from very good holdings that mark this estate out as a name to watch.
