The mineral and earth-scented Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatieres exhibits a well-balanced, medium-bodied, silky character. Its flavor profile, dominated by an intense minerality, also offers touches of white fruits and grilled oak notes. It will require a year or two of cellaring in order to harmonize its presently somewhat discombobulated character and should be at its peak between 2001 and 2004.
