Tasting notes
Flowers and a whiff of menthol on the nose. Rich, sweet and creamy, with captivating flavors of peach and spice. Finishes with lovely sweetness and length but also terrific grip for the vintage. This is excellent.

Flowers and minerals make up the aromatic profile of the light to medium-bodied 2003 Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatieres (white). A generous, friendly wine, it reveals a plush personality redolent with pulp-laden pears that linger in its mineral-laced finish. Soft and forward, it is a candidate for drinking over the next 3-4 years. Importer: Robert Kacher Selections, Washington, DC; tel. (202) 832-9083
Quintessential Puligny aromas of white flowers. Sweet, dense and harmonious, with peach, spice and floral flavors. This, too, avoids any impression of heaviness or exotic ripeness. Finishes long and ripe.
