Reviews & Scores
Unwinding in the glass with aromas of citrus oil, Anjou pear, green apple, white flowers and pastry cream, framed by a deft touch of youthful reduction, the 2020 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Folatières is medium to full-bodied, ample and satiny, with a seamless, racy profile and a bright, saline finish. - WA

An exuberantly fresh, elegant and ever-so-vaguely exotic nose offers up its aromas of green apple, passion fruit, lemon-lime and acacia blossom. The racy, concentrated and overtly mineral-driven flavors possess a bit more size and weight while displaying seriously good persistence on the balanced, bone-dry, lemony and equally chiseled lemon-tinged finale that is presently markedly austere. This beautifully harmonious effort is also really impressive while exhibiting that ineffable sense of presence. - BH

A pretty lemon yellow colour. There are extra layers to the bouquet here, ripe fruit and summer flowers while retaining precision, yet with an extra dimension. Pierre thinks this cuvée has stood out from the start of fermentation. There is a velvet gloss to the texture without disturbing the crystalline backbone. Very fine indeed, the best Leflaive Folatières I can remember. - JM
