Vinous (92)

The 2018 Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatières 1er Cru comes from a long-term contract between the Drouhins and the owner. It has quite a strict bouquet of Granny Smith apples, hints of fennel and lemongrass lending complexity with time. The palate is very well balanced with a find bead of acidity and quite saline in the mouth, showing good midpalate weight. It clams up toward the finish, so that if feels less persistent than the Meursault Genevrières tasted alongside. Give it time.

Burghound (93)

Notes of petrol, white flower and citrus possess background hints of honeysuckle and whiffs of the exotic. There is very good richness to the vibrant and stony middle weight flavors that offer fine persistence and a simply gorgeous mouthfeel before terminating in an impressively persistent finish that flashes very fine depth. This is an interesting wine in that there is solid power to it, yet the texture is almost delicate. Lovely stuff.

Jasper Morris (94)

Fine pale colour with a elegant bouquet, not too ripe, not too weighty. Lovely fruit weight with considerable charm. Juicy and long, with an attractive balance of acidity.
