With scents of roasted sweet fruits, the Puligny Montrachet Folatieres is an extremely structured Puligny. It has big, up-front fruit and roasted nut flavors with a floral aspect on the finish. Surprisingly, this wine resembled a Meursault more than a Puligny because its hazelnut flavors dominated the floral and fruit components. Importer Clicquot, Inc.

This note is the result of tastings I did in Burgundy between January 7 and January 29. Ratings with a range of scores in parentheses indicate the wine was tasted from cask, not bottle.
