2019 Puligny Montrachet Les Folatieres

This has an expressive, almost exuberant nose with toffee, honey, vanilla and hazelnut aromas shooting from the glass. The palate is equally impressive, with honeyed fruit, crystallised citrus and honeydew melon notes. Despite the concentration and ripe fruit character, the wine retains amazing levels of acidity. Winemaker Barnier claims Folatières’s slightly cooler site provided an added freshness in 2019. A highlight in Jadot’s line-up of whites this year.
