laying-down2016 Puligny-Montrachet, Les Folatières, 1er Cru, Château de Puligny-Montrachet

This is the estate’s jewel in its range of Premier Crus, and the step up in quality is evident. Here, there is a fine melding of the vintage character and the terroir’s aristocracy, with a real sense of dimension and richness, although with 2016’s attack. This is very good indeed, with only 20 percent new oak used to emphasise the orange blossom and white peach complexity. Drink 2020-2030.
