Tasting notes
Sulfidey, leesy aromas of white truffle, oyster shell, baked bread and smoky oak; conveys a strong impression of soil. Then rich, dense and backward, with nutty and leesy elements. Large-scaled, layered and tactile for a wine from this cru and this producer.

Minerals, rosemary, and talcum powder can be found in the nose of the 2002 Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatieres. This broad, sappy, soft wine reveals lush layers of pears, flowers, and stones. It is expressive, seamless, and velvety. Drink it over the next 6 years. Importer: Dreyfus Ashby, New York, NY; tel. (212) 818-0770
