    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    This makes an instant impact on the palate, offering sun-ripened yellow fruits with a floral touch. But this is as much about shape and feel as it is flavour. Long, intense and layered this is a very classy 1er Cru Puligny indeed. You feel the richness of the vintage but the depth, control, elegance and complexity of the wine keeps it interesting and fresh. The caressing, mineral-tinged flavours glide gracefully acrross the palate, revealing notes of violet, peach blossom and wild honey infused with salt. A top notch Puligny of classy fruit and mineral complexity, that extends effortlessly across the palate into a lengthy finish. Exquisite. A south east facing plot called "au Chaniot" abutting Montrachet, in the south east corner of Folatieres touching Cailleret and Pucelles. Here the soil is an even mix of limestone and marne clay. Aged in 20% new oak for 12 months followed by 6 months in tank.

    Neal Martin,

    The 2019 Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatières 1er Cru comes from vines located in the lieu-dit of Au Chaniot. It has a vivid bouquet of mineral-rich citrus fruit with lemon curd and light mirabelle aromas. The palate is well balanced with a tangy opening, traces of marmalade and quince and a vibrant, quite concentrated finish. Excellent.
