RATINGS

91Stephen Tanzer

Sweet and lush but firm in the mouth, with a light touch to the mineral, spice and floral flavors. A tactile, sappy wine with very good grip and persistence.

90Wine Spectator

A rich, ripe style, sporting apricot, pineapple and hazelnut flavors. There's a dry, chalky underpinning, and this picks up mineral on the lingering finish.

17Jancis Robinson

More tender and less obvious than the Referts. Sleek and a little low key at this stage. Masses of acidity.

It is nearly in the center of the Premier Crus and is the largest Premier Cru in Puligny-Montrachet. Burgundy writer Clive Coates has written that “Les Folatieres is a fullish, meaty, mineral wine with plenty of weight of fruit and good grip – a typical Puligny premier cru in fact.”

This white variety originated in Burgundy, but is now grown around the world. Its flexibility to thrive in many regions translates to wide flavor profile in the market. Chardonnay is commonly used in making Champagne and sparkling wines.
