Puligny Montrachet, Les Folatières, 1er Cru, 2022
justerini & brooks tasting note
This really smells like crushed rocks and essential oils with a smoked mineral note in there too. Very fine grained on the palate, gone is the extract and density of Referts, in its place you find silk sheets, powdered minerals and the zested peel of lemons and bergamot. This flies high, “floating like Chevalier” according to Marc., while

95-97/100Neal Martin,Vinous
The 2022 Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatières 1er Cru has much more mineralité and terroir expression on the nose that bursts from the glass. There is more intensity than the Les Referts. The palate is extremely well-balanced with superb poise and tension, perfectly judged acidity and an arresting, minerally, complex finish. This is a stunning Puligny from Bachelet-Monnot, and it comes highly recommended.
