The light to medium-bodied 2001 Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatieres displays delightful white flower, mineral, and pear aromas. This hugely spicy wine has a lively personality filled with minerals, lemons, and limes. Its admirably long finish reveals wave after wave of juicy lemon flavors. Drink it over the next 4-5 years.
