Once again there is a restrained coolness to the aromas of airy citrus confit white peach acacia blossom and a hint of anise. The gorgeously textured and markedly more mineral-driven medium weight flavors also possess a beguiling sense of underlying tension all wrapped in a very dry but not really especially austere finale that exhibits outstanding length. I very much like the fruit-acid balance and the 2022 Folatières should age gracefully for a decade plus. (Drink starting 2034)
vThe 2022 Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatières 1er Cru has slightly richer fruit than the Clavaillon. Scents of wild honey infuse the citrus fruit again with plenty of energy and tension coming through. The palate is nicely balanced with white peach and apricot a keen thread of acidity and a very harmonious lingering and seductive finish. What a beautiful Folatières! (Drink between 2026-2045)
