Tasting notes
The 2018 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Folatières is another of the more immediate, charming wines in the range, offering up notes of crisp orchard fruit, white peach, clear honey, almond paste and white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and elegantly enveloping, it's bright and fleshy, with a giving, seductive personality.

Almost as high as Chevalier-Montrachet. Just above Clavaillon, about 10–15 m higher. Very stony and steep, very calcareous. Tank sample. Very tight citrus, super-fresh, tight, smoky but the citrus fruit is the backbone. The creaminess comes back on the finish. Very long. (JH)
