Tasting notes
Very pale yellow-green. Musky lime leaf and white flowers on the nose; less pristine than the 2014. Also riper and more glyceral on the palate, showing a slightly aggressive character I did not notice a year ago. Offers an intriguing flavor of nut oil but I find this a bit heavy for Folatières, in need of more floral lift.

Bright, pale yellow. Reticent nose hints at delicate white flowers. Quite closed in the mouth, but already shows a fine-grained texture and a seductive sweetness to the flavors of lemon, lime leaf and saline minerality. Not as easygoing as the Chalumeaux or Champs Canet today but quite refined.
