Unwinding in the glass with aromas of citrus oil, Anjou pear, green apple, white flowers and pastry cream, framed by a deft touch of youthful reduction, the 2020 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Folatières is medium to full-bodied, ample and satiny, with a seamless, racy profile and a bright, saline finish.

The 2020 Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatières 1er Cru has a precise bouquet that has quite a strong marine element - a Crustacea note emerging. Hints of chamomile and white peach emerge. The palate is well balanced, but I feel that the Clavaillon has more delineation and nervosité at the moment.

Tank sample. Citrus and apple, with that oak spice all in a muscular format with a rich texture and substantial length. There’s a good deal of florality and it beckons to be drunk. (MH)
