CRITIC REVIEWS
Neal Martin
The 2016 Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatières 1er Cru has a lovely bouquet with dried pineapple, linden and just a touch of lime cordial. Perhaps I would have liked a little more mineralité to come through with time. The palate is well balanced with a fresh line of acidity, a touch of sour lemon lending edginess and a chalky texture towards the linear but sustained finish. Excellent. Tasted at Flint Wines Domaine Dujac tasting in London.

"The 2016 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Folatieres was touched by the frost, one plot more affected than the other. It has a clean and pure bouquet with subtle scents of lychee, citrus peel and minerals, tight at first but opening up nicely. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity, a slightly waxy texture, very focused with hints of peach skin and spice on the finish. This is a well-crafted Folatières that may in fact surpass the 2015."

Farmed by the Dujacs even if not owned by them so can be labelled domaine. They do a foulage (whole grapes through crusher) to bring a bit of bitterness, following Roulot. Substantial and creamy-textured. Sweet start with a blossomy overlay. Rounder than many a Puligny but nothing wrong with that. Very charming.
