Puligny Montrachet, Les Folatières, 1er Cru, 2011
justerini & brooks tasting note
Always the same intense stony and salty character, this is habitually a wine of such strong terroir character; concentrated, very mineral, explosive with touches of hazelnut, pain grille and Sicilian lemon flavours. Friendlier than 07 or 08 but racy nonetheless.
critic reviews
92+/100Stephen Tanzer,Vinous
Bright, pale lemon-yellow color. Peach and white flowers on the subdued, pure nose. Tightly wound and perfumed, communicating strong inner-mouth tension to its flavors of stone fruits, spices and flowers. Ultimately rounder on the finish than the Referts, but still with a lightly tannic impression that calls for some patience.
