The Folatières opens in the glass with notes of citrus zest, preserved lemon, toasted nuts and dried white flowers. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and quite ample, but like the Clos de la Chapelle retains tension and focus on the finish. This seems to be a generous, near-term rendition of Folatières but it should deliver lots of pleasure.
The 2016 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Referts, which comes under the domaine, not Maison Jadot, has quite a potent bouquet with scents of honeysuckle, jasmine, citrus fruit and apple blossom. I like the energy conveyed here—more than the La Garenne for example. The palate is fresh and vibrant on the entry, quite rich and slightly honeyed in texture with subtle spice and lemongrass notes surfacing on the very slightly oxidative finish. Drink Date 2018 - 2025
