justerini & brooks tasting note

There was just one 500l barrel produced in ’21, which is a crying shame as this is pure class. Sophisticated and refined, with a seamless delivery of crushed stones, steel and citrus oils. Focussed and intense yet also quite discrete with its power. Ultra-smart. From 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 barrel for 12 months followed by 6 months in tank.

critic reviews

92-94/100Neal Martin,Vinous

The 2021 Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatières 1er Cru was showing a lot of reduction on the nose that makes it difficult to read. The palate is well balanced with plenty of salinity, quite strict and "cool" in style with a touch of orange rind on the finish. A noble Pinot.
