justerini & brooks tasting note

This smells superb, with molten minerals amongst rich yet crisp fruit, plus tons of dry extract and savoury non-fruit character that brings complexity to the salty, citrus-driven fruit. There's an intensity here, a mouth-filling quality but also great inner tension and poise. Effortless power and drive. From a south-east facing plot called "au Chaniot" abutting Montrachet, in the south-east corner of Folatières, touching Cailleret and Pucelles. Here the soil is an even mix of limestone and marne clay. Aged in barrel for 12 months followed by 6 months in tank.

critic reviews

92-94/100Neal Martin,Vinous

The 2023 Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatières 1er Cru has the best aromatics with mineral-rich citrus fruit notes and much more tension compared to the La Garenne. The palate is fresh and vibrant on the entry, with a keen thread of acidity and a twist of sour lemon toward the finish. There's plenty of energy in this Puligny. This will age very well in bottle.
