Tasting profile
A strikingly complex Chardonnay with pronounced minerality and oak, opening on citrus notes of lemon and grapefruit before finishing on honey and acacia. Sharp and steely yet richly balanced, with enough structure that some reviewers mistook it for a red.
Synthesized from 182Vivino reviewers' tasting notes for this bottle.
What reviewers say
“What a white. So much oak and tannin that I think I would have called red if I tasted it blind. The best I've ever had. With the Caviar dish this was incredible.”

Summary
From Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru in France, Olivier Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Folatieres is a white.
182 Vivino reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 188 reviewers with at least two ratings each feeds the raw-average track. Its in-cohort standing is measured against 229 other whites from France, not against the corpus as a whole.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.

- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 182.
