The 2012 Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru les Folatières from Louis Jadot has a vibrant and energetic bouquet with just a touch of reduction, though it blows off to reveal a compelling bouquet with lovely mineral, granitic scents. The palate is crisp and fresh, well balanced with impressive power and intensity without compromising the tension and race.

The 2013 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Folatières was showing plenty of new oak on the vanilla-laced, almost buttery bouquet. There is too much botrytis here. The palate is well balanced with candied orange peel and peachy notes, rich and generous but missing genuine Puligny-like characteristics.

It starts off well with a very well-defined, pure and transparent bouquet: citrus peel, apricot blossom and a touch of fig. The palate is well balanced with a taut line of acidity, great tension, and a sense of reserve (but sophistication) on the finish.

The palate is well balanced and quite powerful, with a lightly honeyed texture. It builds in the mouth towards what is a rich and convincing finish that will leave you wanting more. Excellent.

The palate is crisp and vibrant on the entry with touches of lemon peel, walnut and a hint of dried orange peel toward the finish. It would need to show a little more breeding on the finish to merit a higher appraisal, but this is a fine Caillerets.
