Bachelet Monnot Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru Les Folatieres 2016
Tasting Note
'The domaine’s parcel of fifty-three year-old vines in Folatières are in the extreme northern end of the vineyard, sandwiched between les Truffières next door and Domaine Leflaive’s parcels in the Folatières. The 2016 version here is a very, very minerally example of the vineyard, delivering a superb bouquet of apple, white peach, chalky minerality, gentle floral tones, vanillin oak and a pungent topnote of citrus zest. On the palate the wine is deep, full and racy, with impressive complexity a fine core, zesty and seamless acids and outstanding backend mineral drive on the long and complex finish. This is more elegant in profile than the very good 2016 Referts.'
