Drink up
2013 - 2025justerini & brooks tasting note
One of the higher, stonier vineyards of Puligny, producing some of the commune’s most taut and mineral wines. Initially tense and strict, aeration soon reveals a wine of huge intensity; powerful, salted lime-skin fruit, floral touches of verbena and white flower with a hazelnut and acacia honey richness. Excellent.

93-95/100Neal Martin,Vinous
The 2023 Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatières 1er Cru has more vigor on the nose compared to the Les Referts, more mineral-driven with yellow flowers and a touch of lemon verbena. The palate is very well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, a lovely caressing texture and hints of chamomile infusing the orchard fruit toward the finish. The acidity keeps this tight and focused—a beautifully sculpted Puligny.
