The Folatieres 2004 from Chateau de Puligny Montrachet was a pleasent surprise. Wonderful fresh bouquet with beginning mature chardonnay notes combined with a fine minerality and acidity – 2004 at it’s best. Very fine balance with good mature flavors and a excellent freshness. Still not fully mature, but a pure pleasure now. Given the producer and the premox problems I would drink these while they are still fresh.
(from 2011) Fine – 91p
