Moderate wood frames white orchard fruit, floral and soft citrus nuances. The notably rich and relatively generously proportioned flavors possess an appealing sense of underlying verve before culminating in a stony, delicious and dry-in-the-best sense finish. 89-92 points

The 2017 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Folatières offers up notes of ripe citrus, apples and white flowers, followed by a medium-bodied, pure and attractively tensile palate. The vines here are still young and the wine doesn`t have the depth or concentration of the Combettes, but it`s an elegant middle-weight that should offer a broad drinking window. 90-92 points

Very young vines, some planted only in 2013/14, the rest from 10 to 15 years old. Fresh light reduction quite floral nose. Sweet fruit on the attack, a few citrus notes, no massive depth, well-made but the youth of the vines shows. 91 points

The 2017 Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatières 1er Cru has a very taut nose at first, only reluctantly unfurling to reveal green apple scents with touches of honeysuckle and linseed developing with time in the glass. The well-balanced palate is fresh on the entry with a fine bead of acidity, perhaps just needing to manifest more terroir expression and mineralité on the finish. 89-91 points
