91 Neal Martin - Vinous Media

The 2022 Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatières 1er Cru has a subtle bouquet that opens with scents of clementine, peach skin, crushed stone and quince. Very nuanced in style. The palate is well balanced with a tangy, very spicy entry that takes it away from Puligny, more like a Chassagne-Montrachet in style. There is something a little malty towards the finish. A shame the palate does not match the promise intimated by the aromatics. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.
