Tasting notes
Very pale yellow. Reticent but pure aromas of peach, white flowers and hazelnut. Silky, juicy and nicely concentrated; a lovely elegant, energetic 2015 with smooth flavors of white peach and white flowers. This smooth, deep, very long wine is balanced to give early pleasure but should age well.

Fresh if subdued scents of citrus blossom, lime zest, quinine and white flowers. Sweet and seamless on the palate, with a thick texture nicely cut by sound acidity. With its saline minerality and floral lift, this wine is showing more terroir than vintage character, with only a touch of lichee to suggest 2015. Finishes with noteworthy building length.

The 2015 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Folatieres, which comes from the lieu-dit "en Richard" (though never stated on the label), offers appealing aromas of green apple, slate and a touch of blackberry leaf, gaining intensity with each swirl of the glass. The palate is crisp and fresh on the entry with a fine line of acidity. It has a sense of harmony and composure perhaps missing in the La Perriere, with impressive mineralite and tension on the finish. This comes recommended. Dec 2016, www.robertparker.com
