Tasting notes
The 2020 Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatières 1er Cru initially has the finest nose amongst what turns out to be an inconsistent flight of wines from this climat. However, it seems to dispense with that after time in the glass and just lacks a bit of character. The palate is well-balanced with a fine bead of acidity, taut and linear. This is the most refined of the nine Folatières in the flight. It's creamy towards the finish. The 2020 improves in the glass, and I feel I initially underrated this.

Cask sample. Floral and quite subtle, savoury and long on the palate. Sleek and well done. Definitely worth investing in premiers crus at this address. (JR)
The 2020 Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatières 1er Cru has even more mineralité on the nose than the Les Referts, displaying brilliant delineation and concentration and hints of apricot and white flowers that come from the millerandé berries. The palate is very well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, and so much energy and tension. Quite saline toward the finish, with grapefruit and lime lingering on the aftertaste. Simply superb.
