Tasting notes
Displaying floral and anise aromas, the Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatieres is broad and powerful, yet feminine. A medium-bodied, velvety-textured, forward wine, it is filled with flavors reminiscent of pears, minerals, apples, and honeysuckle. Drink it over the next 6 years. Importer: Kobrand, Inc., New York, NY; (212) 490-9300.

Similarly leesy complexity on the nose, along with notes of lemon cream and white flowers. Higher-pitched and more floral in the mouth; delicate and lively. A higher-acid, rather backward wine that conveys an impression of great energy. Has the structure and cut for aging.
About the producer

Louis Jadot is arguably the most consistent négociant house in Burgundy. It has managed to straddle both the entry-level and fine wine market, while retaining respect in both.
