Is Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Folatieres a good wine?
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.”
