The 2018 Montrachet Grand Cru has a heavy reduction on the nose that masks the terroir, but that will dissipate with time. The palate is (again) very reduced at the moment, good weight and concentration, quite muscular yet missing a bit of grace on the finish. Difficult to figure this out.

The 2018 Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatières 1er Cru has a wonderful bouquet with mineral-driven Granny Smith apple aromas and a touch of lemon rind. The palate is very well balanced with a fine bead of acidity. Fresh and focused, the oak is cleverly interwoven with a persistent finish. This is excellent, a classy Folatières that should age well in bottle. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 white tasting.Inc. TAX€271.15 -

A domaine wine. Pale lemon colour. The bouquet is not especially demonstrative but the palate certainly is. The fruit is ripe, with some of those bacon fat notes, but otherwise with a quintessential purity, the flesh we expect of Folatières and a strongly stony feel throughout. Long and expressive.

The 2021 Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatières 1er Cru has a very classy bouquet with beautifully integrated oak, real intensity and impressive delineation. The palate is fresh and concentrated. Wonderful depth and almost racy acidity with gorgeous yellow plum and spicy notes towards the persistent and harmonious finish. Superb. Sophisticated. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.Inc.

A domaine wine. Pale clear lemon. This again has one of the toastier noses, the effect of the second elevage on full lees. The fruit explodes on the palate, pure ripe white apples if one has to specify but both the class and the texture are impeccable. And perfect aftertaste. A strong 4 stars, a candidate for five.

The 2021 Puligny-Montrachet Les Pucelles 1er Cru has a crowd-pleasing lime-scented bouquet that does not overpower the mineralité. There is a very slight reduction that is attractive in a "smoky bacon" style. The palate is more reduced than the nose (something that is atypical in my experience) and here it feels excessive, suppressing the freshness and fruit, rendering it just a little generic on the finish. There is a good wine somewhere here but it is difficult to find in this bottle. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.Inc. TAX€2,336.95 -

A blend from all the plots of Puligny except Charmes and Trézin. A pretty bouquet with some fresh citrus blossom on the nose, pure white fruit on the palate, which is on the broader side but with enough concentration to kick on nicely to a tasty finish. Very correct and quite accessible. Drink from 2027-2030. Tasted Oct 2024.Inc. TAX€134.22 -
