Alain Chavy Puligny Montrachet les Folatieres 1er Cru 2019 (750ML)

92-94 VM / 93 JM

The 2019 Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatières 1er Cru has a cool as a cucumber nose, Zen-like, opening reluctantly to reveal scents of wet limestone, flint and a touch of chalk. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, harmonious and focused with orange zest towards the effervescent finish that lingers in the mouth. One of Chavy’s best offerings this year - excellent.—Neal Martin, Vinous Media

Slightly the deepest in colour and the richest nose of the four premier crus. Some lemon notes and light plum, then white fruit. This has the most assured texture of the four. Good grip, as Clive Coates would have said, stretching out very nicely in a fine long finish. Tasted: February 2021—Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy
