Puligny-Montrachet, Les Folatières, 1er Cru, 2024
justerini & brooks tasting note
From high on the slope. A wine of pungent stoniness and very fine grain, with a starry, lifted quality. Less about sheer impact than grace and mineral definition. Salty, tapering finish and huge inner perfume contained in a mid-weight frame. Floats across the palate.?

The 2024 Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatières 1er Cru is much more backward than the Les Referts at the moment. Crushed stone, a little more yellow fruit by comparison, a hint of orange blossom. It's alluringly standoffish! The palate is quite intense, focused and delineated. Not quite the amplitude or ambition of the Les Referts but it does fan out wonderfully on the finish, suggesting there is something there for those with the nous to leave it in the cellar for a few years.
