Vinous, 91-93 Points

“The 2017 Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatires 1er Cru matures in just over 20% new oak, has an attractive bouquet, a little more complex than the Chalumaux with orange pith and Mirabelle aromas. The palate is well balanced with a slightly soft entry, but there is a fine line of acidity that tightens everything up, leading to a stony, malic finish that lingers in the mouth. Good potential here.”

Wine Advocate, 90-92 Points

“An elegant, understated wine, the 2017 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Folatires offers up notes of ripe Meyer lemon, citrus blossom and almond paste that are delicately framed by new oak. On the palate, it’s medium to full-bodied, satiny and pure, with a delicate, deceptively open-knit profile. I suspect it will tense up with a second winter on the lees.”

Alcohol: 13%
