Tasting notes
Wafting from the glass with a pretty bouquet of vine blossom, white peach, citrus oil and pastry cream, the 2018 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Folatières is elegantly satiny, fine-boned and precise, with a delicate core of fruit, racy acids and a long, tangy finish. This is a bright, incisive Folatières from Chartron.

The 2018 Puligny-Montrachet les Folatières 1er Cru has a crisp bouquet of white peach, orange pith and subtle flinty aromas that gain intensity with aeration. The palate is fresh and taut on the entry, and strict at the moment, displaying an almost Chablis-like reserve toward the finish, but you can feel the salinity lingering in the mouth long afterwards. Good potential, but it will deserve three or four years in bottle.
