Tasting notes
Cask sample. Less expressly fruity than their Clavoillons, but has a really lovely savoury mineral note that provides plenty of flavour. Crisp and crunchy on the palate. Dry, lengthy, grippy finish. Might need a few years before reaching its peak. (RH)

Sweet and charming with lots of ripe fruit. Great precision. Lemon and lime. Good persistence. (JR)
The 2015 Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru les Folatieres has the most complex bouquet of Alain Chavy's premier crus with wonderful cold slate and light fumé notes emerging from the glass, perhaps more on the austere side at the moment, yet it gains intensity on the glass. The palate is well balanced with more fruité than the other premier crus, touches of white peach, pear and citrus peel emerging with time. It feels harmonious and persistent in the mouth, completing what feels like a classy Puligny that should give pleasure over the next decade. Bon vin!
