Bachelet-Monnot Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatieres 1er 2023
DOZEN: $7,344.00 or $612.00 each
The 2023 Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatières 1er Cru has more vigor on the nose compared to the Les Referts, more mineral-driven with yellow flowers and a touch of lemon verbena. The palate is very well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, a lovely caressing texture and hints of chamomile infusing the orchard fruit toward the finish. The acidity keeps this tight and focused—a beautifully sculpted Puligny. NEAL MARTIN
Pale lemon yellow, with a lightly reductive nose. More of a chiselled than a heady Folatières, though with all the necessary weight of fruit further back on the palate. This is less extrovert than Les Referts but perhaps shows a classier intensity at the finish. (96) JASPER MORRIS MW
OUTSTANDING - A suggestion of the exotic is present on the slightly riper aromas of white peach, spiced tea and passion fruit. The rich, succulent and opulent medium weight flavors possess slightly better mid-palate density though not quite the same precision on the lingering finale that could also use better depth. BURGHOUND
