The 2016 Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru les Folatieres offers quite a generous bouquet with subtle hints of passion fruit and lychee filtering through the citrus fruit. The palate is rounded, quite rich with a honeyed texture, powerful and lightly spiced with an insistent finish that lingers in the mouth. It is a bullish and comparatively outgoing Folatières that will hopefully gain mineralité before bottling to complete the wine.
