(this had just finished its malolactic fermentation): Sexy aromas of fresh peach, nectarine and white flowers. Silky, saline and extract-rich, boasting lovely inner-mouth floral lift to its pulpy stone fruit flavors. Superbly balanced, long wine with a saline quality on the glistening finish. The crop here was a healthy 43 hectoliters per hectare, noted winemaker Eric Remy, and the finished wine is carrying about 12.75%, reflecting about 0.75% of chaptalization.

This too is gorgeously pure with its airy, cool and complex nose that is composed by notes of white flower and freshly cut citrus fruit that are trimmed in just a hint of pain grillé. The highly energetic and intensely mineral-inflected middle weight flavors possess good richness but also terrific delineation on the firm finish that is dry, long and moderately austere.

Tasted blind at the annual “Burgfest” tasting in Bouilland. The 2013 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Folatières did not reach my estimation from when I tasted this from stainless steel vat. It has an attractive bouquet with cold stone and yellow flower scents developing with aeration. So far so good. The palate is a little shrill on the entry, tense but missing real depth and precision on the finish. This does improve with 10-15 minutes in the glass, gaining a little more tension and personality so perhaps it is simply a case of needing more time. I'll keep the faith and temper more score. Tasted May 2016.
